    I just bought some Win detergent, which is made especially for athletes and does an excellent job of removing odors. I work with about 15 camels on a regular basis, and although I love the way they smell, most people don't, so I not only wash my bike clothes in Win but also my ranch clothes. Someone else on this particular thread provided the link for Win detergent, so if you scroll back a bit, you'll see it.

    Lisa- RE hanging out to dry- well no, I just hang them on hangers over the door inside.

    Kjay- Did you know that we have a camel barn here in Benicia? We used to have camel races here too for a couple of years, but that's gone now. I had the fortune one year of phographing a mama and baby. Pretty darn cute! (And yes, they do smell!!)

    Seriously, I have two of those expandable drying racks for inside, plus two flat racks for sweaters & stuff. My gym clothes don't go in the dryer, either - they last so much longer and wick sweat so much better when they're air dried.

    When it's full winter, clothes will dry in the laundry room without triggering the dehumidifier. In clammy fall weather, DH just has to deal with the upstairs being full of drying clothes for a few hours

    Oh, I misunderstood!

    Yes, we drape stuff around inside to dry too- though I usually do some pre-fluffing in the low dryer- it's the best way to get all the cat hair off!

    We just bought a small wooden folding clothes drying rack too, for the bedroom- beats covering all the chairs with stuff airing out after our rides. We might get another one for the basement too, for next to the washer/dryer.

    Bike Goddess, I've seen the camel races in Benicia but have yet to visit the camel barn, which I've been meaning to do for the last few years. Thanks for reminding me.
