I have this same problem all winter long. I finally mentioned it to my doctor (who's also a cyclist). It turns out I have Raynaud's Syndrome; basically I have great circulation to my fingers and toes but as soon as I get even a little chilly the blood vessels lock up and fingers and toes go numb.
Last night it was 50 degrees and very windy. a light bulb just went off- a couple of years ago i noticed that the index fingers on both of my hands would turn white and go numb if they got the slightest bit cold, i shrugged it off but you have me thinking- what if the problem in my toes is what i've been experiencing in my fingers. any suggestions on how to handle this if indeed it is Raynaud's Syndrome?
