Dehydration, death grip, too large diameter grips...?

1) Water, water, water... if actively involved in sports/sweating as much as one gallon per day.
2) Grip bike with legs which is will take a big burden off your arms/hands. Ride, ride, ride, experience helps you relax and ride less tense. Stand up as much as possible.
3) Pyramid style grips (small diameter) or half waffles.

My cramps got much, much better when I started taking Endurolytes.

You can't go wrong with Renthal half waffles. If your opinion is that you have smallish hands, go with smooth (no waffle pattern.)
