Went out for a road ride on Sunday, only 50 miles, however after about 100 miles I start getting a numb left hand - mainly around the index finger/thumb. I've had it before and don't think too much about it - I know I need to fiddle with my road bike setup but just haven't had time.

Last night I went out on my xc bike and the same thing happened. About 40 minutes into the ride my left hand starts to go numb.

I can understand one bike not being set up properly and causing the problem. But both? Not really sure where to start looking to alleviate the cause.

Mainly around the index finger then extends to the thumb. I try moving my hand position around a bit which helps a little. But the numbness soon comes back.
