The old method was wintergreen and olive oil its cheap and will work OK.
Just keep it off the tender skin and away from eys.

I still use it and have for 50 years the water just runs off your legs.

Well add some 100% alcohol and you get Baileys Irish Cream, it will warm you inside as well I used to mix some of them long time before

Mad Alchemy

It's a great product that comes in a variety of warming intensities

I know this is a late reply, but I just thought I'd second Mad Alchemy products. Good stuff indeed.

BORN and NaQi give some serious warming gels

 

[Hmmmmm]

I have never warmed my legs prior to a ride or race. Does it provide for a better ride or make a difference to you or does it just feel good?
