Touring some Alps

wash them, dry them with your hotel towel, finish it with the hairdryer or take them in bed. ... best under the pillow. I'm not sure the towel method is understood. Wring the wash out as well as possible and then roll it up in a towel and wring again. I find wearing socks and underwear to bed after dinner a convenient drier after the towel wring if it is not warm and summer like weather. You'll be surprised how soon they are up to body temperature under the covers and how quickly they dry. Yes, that's the drill. Wash them in the sink, wring them dry inside the towel and they'll dry over night in the summer. Mostly true but not guaranteed, however. When you take off again in the morning you can expose the wear that is still damp on top of your bags or backpack. Or even pin them to the cable housing, if still using external routing, as I do. I'd rather be prepared for some rain than hang out laundry, Like Sergio, I found that my cycling shorts did not dry out overnight in the Alps. But putting them in the sun for an hour while I ate breakfast and got ready to go solved that. I only washed the pair of shorts I'd worn that day each night, so that no matter what I had a dry pair to wear the next day. Let's not get into washing fetishes. Jobst Brandt |
