Maybe a silly question

We have showers in the carpark... However for a hospital it's almost as if those showers have been forgotten by the cleaning staff.

I hate hospital showers. Don't get me wrong the hose thing is great! It's the "Openess" of them, Ya know the "no ledges" thing means all the water goes everywhere BUT into the drain.

So I've given up on them.

After a wipe down the only thing I wash is my face... Then apply moisturiser at my desk. If I don't do this in the morning it's ZIT CITY the next day. grrrr.

But that's not the advice correct for your DH is it DDH? He could ride dressed in summer clothes, singlet and breezy shorts. The COLD he'd be feeling would make him avoid sweat.

AND avoid backpacks. Use panniers instead. My back sweats like CRAZY under my backpack and is usually the only part of me that is wet from sweat when I arrive at work.

Well he would definitely have to take his gear in ahead of time. He would not be able to carry it all.

Thanks girls for all your advice and info.

I ride to work 5 days a week, all year long, and down here in the New Orleans area, I do sweat like a piggie even in the morning during my 30 minute commute. I shower in the morning and pat myself down well with cornstarch powder before I leave home. No showers at work, so I loll around for ten minutes or so after arriving to cool off, then I do a full body wipedown with unscented baby wipes, apply fresh deodorant, some cooling footspray, and cologne, touch up the makeup. I keep the toiletries and shoes at work, but carry my work clothes and fresh undies and bra every day in a rear rack trunk. Cycling clothes get hung out to dry on the bike which I'm lucky enough to be able to keep sheltered in an outbuilding.
