Couldn't get out for a morning bike ride today. Wife wanted to get up early for sunrise at Cadillac mountain. We seemed to have picked a great week too be in Maine. Weather is great here so far, very happy to be missing the heat wave. I'll have to try and sneak in a ride later on in the day if the activities schedule allows.

Cool - one of my old cycling friends from Philly is also on that island this week. He posted a gravel ride he did on a rented gravel bike.

Looks like your little one is planning revenge for the early wake-up.
 
So, after riding 3 days in a row... it dawns on me bib management is gonna be key. Did laundry last night post ride and as always, hung up the bibs to air dry in the laundry room (non-air conditioned room off the garbage). Check this AM.... still damp!!!! &$@! Ridiculous Humidity!!!!! Now they have to go back in the wash... or I’ll smell like mildew mess!!!!! You know it’s bad when you gag yourself. 🙁 now I’m gonna have to wear the bibs with the annoying seams...... next time I bring them in the house to dry.

Why air dry? I always throw my shorts/bibs in the drier.
 
Day 3, LewMo again. Slow leak eating up my canisters, and I cleared another large tree across the trail...

I put all my bike shit in the washer and dryer together with all my other clothes and don't have this problem.

Same here - I like to cook the crap (literally) out of the shammy

I have noticed the lycra is starting to look funny on shorts I've had for 5 years now, tho could be that's their usual lifespan

Same here. Tumble dry on low/delicate heat for maybe an hour. Everything comes out dry and doesn't seem to hard elastics. I have jerseys I've been wearing regularly since the early 90's. Shorts do eventually wear out and get a little thread-bare (transparent 😳 ) and nobody wants to see that. 😛
