lankyri Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 ok its getting cold and i hate it when i get cold because i dont ride as well but ive been thinking ok, would this work? when you use deep heat it warms your muscles up and that and it kind of heats you up now if you can deal with the smell of that stuff than if you spraid this on you would this keep you warmyour thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't think it's a great idea... Would make your clothes smell lots, and i guess it won't last too long.Just wear more clothes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Stuff like that dosn't actaully warm you up.If you eat a some hot food, the temperature of your mounth dosn't increase. You'll still be freezing cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I wouldn't, personally. It never really did much for me, but my sister was watching her friend play in a rugby match. It was a cold day so he coated himself in DeepHeat. He got stretched off after 10mins 'cos he just got a cramp in almost every muscle and was in a hell of a lot of pain.Friendly warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Nike base layers are available from £16 at Evans, which is pretty good. I lived in my base layer last winter and even when it got down to -8 and -9, I was still out riding just in my base layer, two t-shirts and a hoodie...

PaRtZ Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 As an outdoor expert (blacks, its my job to be) there are a few ways to keep warm:1) baselayers. Get a good set to trap heat all over your body. The more layers you have the better, because then you can take layers off if you get too hot2) Hand warmers lol. £2.99 and they last a couple of hours. Stick em in your gloves and feel the warmth baby3) As joe said, jog on the spot for a bit, probaby you're best option to be honest4) get windstopper clothes. So you dont feel the wind chill. Work surprisingly well Hope that helps in some way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Some horrible knut put deep heat in this poor sod's boxers after a football match. He was almost crying in pain most of the way home (about half an hour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Helly Hanson Wind Stopper. Ive sailed, ran, canoe'd, and rode with that beast. Takes about 3 seconds to warm you up....Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yeah I dont think deep heat is a good idea. There's always the chance that you'll sweat and it'll find it's way down to that place where all the sweat collects (you know where I'm talking about) and that would be painful!This is gonna sound stupid, but get a black plastic bin liner, cut some arm holes and a head hole in it and generally cut it down to size, and wear it under your t-shirt. They make a fantastic insulating layer, keeping all your body heat in. You'll sweat a lot but that's good for cleansing the pores anyway and if you cut it right no one will know either so you won't look like a pleb!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Bowel Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) My experience is when I leave the house im proper cold, so I wear loads of layers.But yesterday for instance, as soon as I rode 5 miniutes to where I was going, I was riding around in a t shirt.Im sure you will soon warm up Edited December 14, 2006 by ilukeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 you have some great suggestions there guys, loving the bin liner idea its a shame that im not going to try it though, and im deffienatitly not going to try the deep heat technic after what mark said. just going to buy a nice wind proof jacket and maybe one of those t-shirtscheers guys made me laugh on a couple of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 rick ive got one of those nike base layers for during the winter when im out on my road bike in minus tempretures and all you do is swet tis good cause he keeps you nice and warm but they stink lol. youve seen that i only wear my team jacket and a t-shirt and that is a thermal windstopper.be-ware though windstopper clothing is dear, you can get cheap stuff but it doesnt do the job particuarly well.
