might be worth a try!

craw back under your rock.
If you want to help keep the trails natural go ride somewhere else instead of trying to organise group rides with strangers.
Try some stretching excercises for carpal tunnel syndrome it may help, ive suffered a little from it lately due to work etc and its helping.
It may not be this however but no harm trying.
