Liniments for aching legs

Flasheart

Anyone able to recommend a liquid linimant to use "post ride" ? I say liquid as I'm quite hairy and creams would get messy, and no I'm not going to shave em :P
I find that in the evening after my ride my legs ache a lot. As I'm not a spring chicken and the old body is prone to aches and pains, it may help.

Flash - the stuffs not bad: Elite Ozone Refresh Oil 150ml

Far better IMO are cold baths - 5 mins in, out, 5 mins in, out, 5 mins in

Also compression tights are brliiant, but maybe not for Summer!

nothing will make any difference, seriously. eat, drink, put your feet up, then go to bed.....

lots of milk post ride and i just ordered a bottle of this massage poil. http://www.paydenspharmacy.co.uk/product.asp?sku=17801H

dont get suckered into buying the expensive ozone cycle specific stuff, you can get equally good products from online chemists, id also recommend an arnica gel to soothe the aches.

Not to worry, just rub it on your legs and see what that does for 'em.
