Hot tub and Roadies
Anyone have a soak before riding? I bought my wife a hot tub this Christmans and I was wondering if anyone warms up before a ride in a hot tub?

No hot tub for me, but I've become a huge fan of a little self-leg massage with some Freddy's Choice Warm-Up Xtra when it's cold out, and Start-Oil for warmer weather. Might all be placebo, but I swear it helps me warm up quicker, and doesn't dehydrate like a hot tub...

It rocks, however, when you get that "I'm never going to be warm again" feeling after a cold ride.

Also great after a hard ride with a box of Epsom salts poured in.

To me, the hot tub is AFTER the ride. Pretty soon it will be no hot tub at all, though, because I want to have children soon.

I don't have the hot tub, but I really enjoy a nice, hot bath after a long, tough ride. I usually kick back and read one of my favorite cycling mags while I relax.
It's especially nice after a freezing cold ride, as mentioned above. +++1

The tub is nice after the ride to soak those muscles and prevent cramping. Works for me and eat a bannana as well.

I agree with the masses, do the hot tub after the ride. We got ours last year around this time and if there's time I do a post ride soak.

My understanding was that heating the boys up above a certain temperature decreased sperm counts temporarily, I hadn't heard about mutation!

Its always hot tub time.
I love to wake up and plop in half asleep and come out wide awake full of energy. Great way to start a day and/or ride.
Gets you warmed up and flexible me thinks.

I think my wife pulled the same thing with the cat box. "You know I can't empty the litter box, the doctor says it's bad for me...."
