Muscle rubs. Worth it, any good?

Afternoon.
My thighs (the fronts) are still aching after a 25 mile ride on Tuesday. I had last night off, but they still ache today, but I want to go out again tonight. Should I sit it out again or ride through it? Alternatively, would a muscle rub cream like deep heat etc help?
Cheers,
Gwaredd.

My gf goes out for runs and I go along as her 'trainer'. After long rides I found that doing this the next few days loosens my legs up. Maybe do a ride but take it nice and easy. Also might be worth doing some stretches after a ride which is what I'm starting to do now with good results.2008 Rockhopper Disc (Silver)

Wives and g/fs are the best muscle rubs!!
Seriously, stretching after a ride will help.
I also like to have a gentle ride if my thighs ache.Stumpjumper FSR 09/10 Pro Carbon, Genesis Vapour CX20 ('17)Carbon, Rose Xeon CW3000 '14, Raleigh R50

Deep heat defnitely helps - hams were killing last Monday - deep heated them before I went for a run and by Tuesday they were fine again. Give it a go!0
