With the current weather, I was thinking about getting a pre ride balm to inject a bit of heat into the legs. I went out today for a quick hour but my legs just did not get warm.

does anyone use heat rubs before and or after and do you find them of benefit?

    Assos winter long legs. Nuff said. Though it's not a balm ;-)

    Winter - Condor Bivio - cyclocross bike for commuting, cycle paths & rainy days - brilliant

    I use the Elite Ozone gel.

    I wouldn't say that it improves my riding performance, but the warmth definitely makes me feel more comfortable in the cold, and therefore increases my enjoyment of riding at this time of year.
