If you only have 1 pair of bibshorts now (the Castelli), I'd say that's the problem if you're doing 5-6 rides a week. Over the years, I now have about 5-6 pairs of bibs that work for indoor riding (which tend to be shorter in duration than outdoor rides). Those 5-6 bibs, plus whatever mesh shirts/base layers I've worn on top indoors, make up enough space to do as its own washing load. Everything in the load is a sports material/synthetic in these instances; no need to wash with regular laundry. Yes, might be pricey to buy 5-6 bibs, but think of them as consummables, and the lifetime price is about the same anyway.
