Thanks, I’m on the LEJOG and do this every night. Hairdryer also helps a lot.

This is from my LEJOG blog of a few years ago, describing my post-ride routine: I enter my room, and immediately demolish any biscuits the hotel may have provided. Then, after ten minutes of lying on the bed in the recovery position, I have a shower. Now this is important, because the evening shower is also the evening clothes-washing session. One’s cycling kit, and any dirty non-cycling stuff, is thrown into the shower basin, and the shower switched on. I step in, admiring my cyclists’ tan lines, and as I wash myself I march on the spot as if I were treading grapes. It may not match the sophistication or delicate action of Hotpoint’s finest washing machines, but it gets the job done. The great thing then is to dry your clothes, and there are various techniques: 1, Roll them in a towel and stand on it for a while. This gets rid of most of the water pretty quickly 2, Let it drip into the bath overnight. This is hopeless 3. Hang it out the window. This is surprisingly effective when the weather is OK, but there is the risk of (i) ridicule and (ii) (especially if you are on the ground floor) theft 4. Play a fan on the damp clothes. Slow but effective 5. Use the heated towel rail in the bathroom. Less effective than you’d think 6. Use the room’s electric heater if it has one. Works well with the first of these So I agree with you!

And ask hotel or hostel for a hair dryer!

I used this the other day on a short tour around Shropshire, where we got utterly soaked at the end of one of the days. It worked really well, cheers.

That will at least provide a use for the hair dryer since I have no longer have hair on my head.

That is a very good tip, as it works really well. Although I do it slightly differently by laying the towel out flat, then the shirt or whatever also flat, on top of the towel, then roll them in together so you end up with a Swiss Roll sort of affair, but a bit chewy and certainly less tasty. I doubt it makes any difference though whichever method is deployed. There is absolutely nothing worse than putting on wet kit in the morning.

Yep - gets much towel to kit surface area as possible 🙂

I did not know any of this. I suppose a washroom hand dryer could sub for the hair dryer. Cyclists on that route would soon gain the reputation of being a bit odd.
