One of the best tips for drying clothes that I've ever heard is as follows. After you have washed the cloths and wrung them out, hang them up, then on the lowest part of the piece of clothing pin an additional piece of cloth to the bottom using a safety pin. It can be a small face towel or a bandana. Gravity will pull the water to the lowest part of the material which will be the piece of material. Then your clothing can air dry on it's own. It has worked for me.

These are both great tips I will surely put in use. Thank you for sharing.

I must stay too long in the one place. I would just wash them and hang them up all over the tent or bike. Almost everything dried or mesh bag while riding. Of course I was always somewhere sunny..or at least not raining all the time.

Good tips though

The other one I heard was to get a small dry bag, fill it with dirty laundry, warm water and washing powder, strap it to the bike and you've got your own mobile washing machine.

i like it, definitely going to try it. Less time spent washing clothes = more riding time! :mchappy:

Instead of wringing, its easier to step/walk on the clothes/towel bundle and force the water out that way. If your clothes are of artificial fibers, they will be so dry that you can put them under the sheets and sleep on them and they'll be dry/wearable next morning.
