One effective method for drying a cycling kit quickly involves using a towel to press out excess water.
Here's a detailed explanation of the suggested method:
- Lay out a bath towel: Spread a clean, dry bath towel on the floor after you've dried yourself.
- Arrange your kit: Place all the items from your cycling kit (jersey, shorts, gloves, etc.) on the towel.
- Roll up the towel: Roll the towel tightly with the cycling kit inside.
- Apply pressure: Walk up and down on the rolled-up towel, applying pressure to squeeze the water from your kit into the towel. Think of it like treading grapes. This helps remove a significant amount of moisture.
- Air Dry: After removing the excess water, hang the kit to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, as this can damage the fabric and elastic.
This method is a good way to quickly remove a lot of water from a cycling kit, especially when you need it dry quickly for another ride.
