Has anyone had any experience with having numbness in their hands and feet during a ride? If so any suggestions on how to stop it?

HANDS, I beleive you are placing to much weight onto the handle Bars. You need to adjustyour seat back , beleive it or not, to trans fer your weight more ontothe seat. As for your feet you may need to experiment with your binding and how tight/lose you have them.

Yes, weight distribution is important. Also, shifting around on seat front to back. Pre-ride stretches; Hands, fingers, (all limbs), arms, legs, feet, neck. I stretch feet; forward/backward, tiptoe. These stretches are gong to improve circulation. I do this for tennis as well as cycling. At 55 its a blessing and makes all the difference in the world.
I use padded handle bar tape and gloves.
Don't forget your post ride stretch, (minimal); will reduce muscle tightness after a good ride!
