I'm new to the sport (6 weeks) and have been riding farther and longer with each ride. Today I rode 22.5 miles nonstop, my longest ride and my longest ride without stopping for a break.
My issue is, when I got off my bike today, my right foot started to ache terribly, almost unbearably on the underside, right side a couple inches behind my pinky toe. It was very sensitive to walk or even stand and I even struggled driving home. Once home it was still painful, but slowly over about 4 hours it retuned to normal, but I can still press my foot and feel the sensitivity. Standing barefoot on a hard surface, there is a noticeable lump under my foot as if standing on cotton pads stacked a couple high.
Any thoughts?
I was fitted properly for my bike, but I do have a leg (right leg) shorter than the other. Is it possible that I need a spacer between my shoe and cleat to make up the difference? or do you think it could be something else?
Also, tonight I slid my right cleat as far forward to try to make up a difference in the leg inequality. Although I haven't tried it yet, do you think this could help?
Thanks for any feedback
