Sportique Century Ride cream review

This cream is well up to the challenge of hour after hour of saddle action. It’s a mixture of glycerols and natural oils that rub in smoothly and cleanly to provide enough anti-friction and anti-bacterial protection to keep you boil and blister-free. It’s also neutral flavoured (no eyebrow raising minty rush) so you can use it anywhere as a moisturiser/friction reducer.

While we had to slap a fair bit on, which reduces value of this already expensive 180ml tube, it comes with a free 100ml bottle of ‘Warming Up Oil’, a similarly useful natural oil-based all-rounder for pre/post-ride muscle rub or a bit of warmth on your first spring ‘no tights’ rides.
