Have you done a lot of dumbbell work? Wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, side raises, forward raises, back raises, overhead presses, etc. (youtube) Riding should strengthen them, not weaken. 3 hours a week . . .I've ridden 6-12 hours a week for 25 years and I'm sure many on here have done a lot more than that. Be sure to move your saddle back until your hands feel light on the bars. Or do you mean that not being actively riding, steering, braking, etc., has allowed your wrists to weaken? I think it's possible to reverse almost all injuries or weaknesses of this sort.
