Let us soothe the pain of Christmas shopping.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chamois cream<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re uncertain what ailment the mysterious \u201cshammy\u201d cream cures, look no further than the less-than-subtle product names. \u201cEnzo\u2019s Buttonhole\u201d and \u201cdz Nuts Pro\u201d suggest that chamois is for the undercarriage of any cyclist intending to spend a long time in the saddle.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=_GFu0Aen9t8 params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/_GFu0Aen9t8\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Katie Kookaburra likes the menthol feel of her cream but if you want your nether regions to smell like a lamb roast, there\u2019s Rapha\u2019s Chamois Cream with rosemary extract. For butt-related aches, I recommend Butt Shield. You can\u2019t have too many options when it comes to chamois cream.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Embrocation cream<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nothing says \u201cI love you\u201d quite like buying your significant other a chemical irritant for their boxing day ride. Also known as \u201cBelgian Knee Warmers,\u201d embrocation works by encouraging the blood supply to flood your skin so you can embrace poor weather. Or as Castelli call it, \u201cFoul Weather Cream!\u201d Who said romance is dead?<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=CFH1dNrqqsg params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/CFH1dNrqqsg\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>There\u2019s a big choice of creams out there but my favourite has to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madalchemy.com\/shop?category=Embrocation\">Mad Alchemy\u2019s Russian Tea<\/a>. Just enough to keep the worst of the chill from your bones. And if, like me, you\u2019re getting on a bit, it doesn\u2019t sap too much of your blood supply away from your core.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recovery gel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Gifting your loved one massage oil may imply you\u2019re willing to massage their aches and pains away after their New Year\u2019s Day bike ride. A product like Purple Harry\u2019s Ultimate Rider Care Muscle Cooling Gel implies that it\u2019s up to them to slather it on. But what about something more exotic?<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=Yh-zGUcXA4g params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/Yh-zGUcXA4g\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>As the Locked In video explains, CBD is a cannabis product so check your local laws before buying \u2013 especially if you\u2019re importing. Locked In also points out that because CBD is so new, there are limited regulations to ensure you\u2019re getting a bona fide product \u2013 so rely on recommendations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pro cyclists fuel their rides with energy drinks and gels. The effect on your teeth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2019\/11\/14\/half-of-elite-cyclists-have-tooth-decay-despite-brushing-twice-daily\/\">can be shocking<\/a> so pop a few Listerine Total Care Mouthwash Mini\u2019s into your spouse\u2019s stocking for that new year\u2019s audax they\u2019ve been planning since June.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=QULrchXIgcU params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/QULrchXIgcU\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Listerine Total Care is alcohol free so leave the Jelly Babies at home and pop a mini-bottle in your jersey. Use it a few times, depending on the length of your ride, just to wash out the sugary residue that coats your teeth. I recommend you don\u2019t fill a bidon with mouthwash \u2013 you do NOT want to reach for the wrong bottle as you\u2019re gearing up for a sprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you hunting for last-minute stocking fillers?
