TIA,
Cool bike. But you are definitely committed to an upright position - especially noticeable when riding 40 miles I would think. I prefer drop bars set-up with lots of hand positions to help limit numbness and balance my weight on all the touch points. Even so I still get some numbness - but it is manageable.

Re: fatigue - how many miles have you ridden this year? I feel way better after the first 400 - 500 miles. The hills early in the season can be a grind. Weight-lifting mixed with riding might help.
