Wet Wet Wet

Rain can be a little hard to find here in Perth so I don’t complain too much when we finally get a shower or two. Over the last couple of days we’ve had quite a bucketing.

I was surprised by the number of cyclists out this morning. When the weather turns wet I generally find that there are far fewer people riding to work but I saw quite a number pedalling away today. Which leads me to wonder about the various methods people use to get their cycling gear dry before the return trip.

There’s not too much that’s worse than having to pull on soaking wet cycling clothes at the end of the day.

When I used to work in the city I strung up a clothes line in the air conditioning room. It was a small room with massive air conditioners that serviced the entire building. It was so blowy in there that everything was bone dry in a matter of a few hours. I’ve heard of others using server rooms or anywhere else they can find with a bit of wind and hopefully some warmth.

These days, as you can see in the photo, I have a cheap drying rack with a pedestal fan blasting my stuff dry. Not quite as effective but it does the job.

Maybe I need to find an old clothes dryer for work.
