Yeah, don't want them to shrink. Powerade is my drink of choice when it comes to that...15g of Sugar (not sure how that compares to gatorade) but i am trying to limit my intake. I think it will help me ween myself of soda though...soda apparently has double the sugar...so its a baby step in the right direction. I thought about the dryer thing too, but figured they'd shrink if i did that. My helmet seems to dry out (the pads).
BTW...i look ridicolous wearing a bike helmet. I have a large, misshapen head (no joke) which makes it seem to sit right on the top. It doesn't look normal, at any rate, compared, to anyone else wearing a helmet. [maybe thats why they always stare at me?] anyone know of 'larger' helmets that might look normal on a head like mine? (i can post a pic when i get home)
