@ itsBruce - poor circulation :0) @ Dammit - if only!
I have Raynauds disease. I've had it since I was very young, I just didn't know it had a name until a few years ago. I was teased by my family a lot cos they reckoned as a Brit of Jamaican descent, I should be used to the cold.
My toes don't suffer so much but they are not too far behind on a bad day. Yesterday I walked to the local shops, wearing double gloves. Took off one set so I could access my purse (at a market stall) fingers weren't happy at all and yet the rest of me was water producing toasty.
I already know I'd be completely stuffed if I had a puncture so no winter rides unless in a group and I could prevail on someone to do the necessary for me :-(. It's a tad annoying as being active is as necessary to me as breathing, but I may have to limit myself to short runs/rides during the winter months.
