As Will says - it's prob your position. If your bars are too low, you'll have too much weight on them. Try raising the bars up a bit. And think soft elbows rather than locking the arms - you absorb vibrations better this way.
I get this too RR, and think it is because I am not particularly relaxed on the bike, and tend to really grip with my hands...this makes all my arms and shoulders tense too and I end up really aching, especially my biceps(?)
So try to relax if you feel like you're not especially.
(er Andy - have you met Will ? He is about 7 foot tall and 6 foot wide and can smite mere mortals with his little finger. I'm thinking of skipping the GNR next year !)
...last time i met Jon it was at some ungodly hour of the morning at a running track in sarf london and i was freezing my nadgers off having sat up all night, more or less

try to relax more - do not tightly grip your bars and try to keep your arms slightly bent and relaxed
and STILL have not got some padded shorts - OUCH!!!

except Will's gel saddle is admittedly probably a wussy one too

I reckon they'd stop hurting if ya started using yer legs and feet instead.

You think you could spell your own name
