Sore limbs are the curse of any cyclist but a new massage cream, Mint-Ease, aims to put an end to aches and pains.

Mint-Ease can be used for self treatment of sore and stiff muscles and joints, with the mint oil increasing blood circulation.   

“I often use it before training sessions to help promote blood circulation, especially when riding or running before breakfast when my body and legs are still waking up,” said British triathlete Emma-Kate Lidbury.

A sample has just landed in the RCUK office and editor Richard Hallett has promised to put it to the test. He will report back with the results.

Mint-Ease is available in a 150ml tube for £7.65 from www.mint-ease.co.uk. Mint-Ease roll-on, oil and skin care products are also available.
