No showers at work

[Antaresia]

I don't have showers at work either, but my ride to work is mostly down hill - except for the ramp to get up onto the bridge.

I get to work early - not only does it give me more time to get ready for the day but it's a bit cooler, before the sun really gets going.

I wear a bandana under my helmet, it keeps my hair from getting wild.

a good anti-perspirant. I used my google-fu a while ago - and ended up reading back posts on a body builders form. They had the opinion that Certian Dri is the best brand - and I have to agree. Holy, that stuff workes 3X as well as any other I've tried (use as directed; you put it on at night, not when you wake up). I can even skip a day, which is CRAZY because I sweat a lot.

Oh ya, and I wear one piece no-seam spandex, uh, I guess "yoga bra" would be more accurate than "sports bra". They are much more convenient to put in the wash than normal, fancy lace-padded-underwire bras. And they dry overnight easily enough. I get them at mec.

There are no showers where I work either. I keep a bag of cosmetics and baby wipes at work. I also have a little electric fan to help cool me off while I am getting ready in the bathroom. Luckily, we have a stall with a make up mirror and a shelf. I usually wear a headband under my helmet to keep my hair back so it does not get sweaty. Some days my hair cooperates, others it does not. On days it does not, I try not to look in mirrors!!
