I wash bike clothes more often than anything else. Ok, except during ski season, then I wash ski socks more often than anything else.
This week we both ran out of clean socks. But bike shorts and jerseys and gloves are ready to go.
When I hang dry it all, it's a virtual Kelly advertisement at my house.
But that's not what this post is about. Last year, I wore a team T-shirt on the podiums I got on. It was too big, not flattering, and not well-recognized. I've always kept an extra kit in my race bag... just in case a husband or someone else forgets something truly essential - he's only had to wear girl shorts once... amazing what a girl-shaped chamois will do for your memory!
So now I'm doing the right thing and wearing my clean jersey when I make the podium.
Okay, so I've only managed this twice. But I like the pattern. At Michaux, it was, to say the least, pouring down rain when I missed my name being called at the awards ceremony.
Here's hoping I need that clean kit at a few cross races this year. 37 days. Not that I'm counting.

I know exactly what you mean about the cycling kits hanging up to dry!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading several of your posts I have to say that I am fairly positive you will see the podium at cross races this year.
