Leg Rub

Does anyone use a leg rub before going out on a long ride? And if so what kind of products is everyone using?

I use honey to attract bees, it makes me pedal faster

Not uncommon to use embrocation before a race but never bothered before a training ride, not very often before a race TBH.

I used Morissons own muscle rub on a multi day ride to relax thighs and some tendons and shizz.

Seemed to do the job pretty well. Its kind of like deep heat but not quite as potent

Used to use Sportsbalm (hot) before racing but if it's cold when training I just go for tights or leg warmers. If you use Sportsbalm a few tips I learned the hard way:-

1. Give it at least two days after shaving your legs.
2. Never rub your eyes until you have thoroughly cleaned it off your hands.
3. (Most important) always clean your hands thoroughly before you go to the loo!! :oops:
