Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

I have carried four plastic hangers and some clothespins because motel hangers often do not hang anywhere except in their closet, but a normal hanger can hang from the shower head for drip dry.

When I wrap things in a towel, I let them stay there 15 to 30 minutes, that gives the towel more time to soak up the water.

Regarding the comment above about a mesh bag, I plan to carry a mesh duffle on my next tour for that purpose. I have strapped wet clothes on the top of my frontrollers, but that is a dusty location.

I got a pair of these a couple weeks ago, it helped cut the cold somewhat but I don't think there is a perfect solution. Bottom line is that I am glad I bought them but my toes still get cold.
