    I just like to minimize the laundry pile. I personally don’t get much benefit from changing into clean clothes while I’m still grubby, I’d rather stay grubby until the grubby stuff is done.

    nodody wants to see me mowing the lawn right after after a road ride...

    I was just pondering how MTB seems to evolve its uniform from a mashup of other sports: road cycling, moto, skate, and apparently even saddle bronc riding, and I and wondered-why not golf or polo?

    (don’t take any of this too seriously...I’m just chillin’ after yet again getting home from work too late to get a ride in... I really enjoy the lack of a real uniform, and people can wear whatever they want while riding a bike):thumbsup:

    You missed the part about using the towel and some water to clean up before changing.

    REI sells wipes that are actually adult bathing wipes meant for convalescence or those otherwise unable to bathe themselves (basically large plush baby wipes for grownups), but that have been repurposed by backpackers. They'll do some decent heavy lifting after a ride.

    Serious tattage. I'm guessing he is on a fixie, too.

    I keep a container of walmart no-name brand baby wipes in the truck at all times. $1.50 for 50 if I recall, though they've been out of stock lately. 2-3 wipes cleans me up after a ride to the point where I can live with myself if unable to shower or swim on a road trip. And definitely good enough to hit a food stop or make it home, otherwise. I definitely change out of sweaty riding clothing asap.

    Reading all these posts about hygiene before, during, after rides brings me to one conclusion... I'm a dirtbag!

    As you were.

    My record is 12-13 days. After 4 or 5 days you can't smell yourself anymore anyway.

    Nope. Trying to make the world a better place and that'd be counterproductive to be nice about the muskiness that could be.

    I keep these in my gear box, and usually some in my van.

    A dubious distinktion, to be sure. :unsure::stop::p


    @heyitsdave, good call. I was solo except for walking by a few others who were likely days into their own stink-ups. And like @rossage infers, pit stink whithers in a few days. Being extra tidy with solid waste along with being occupied (if not gripped) all day, it's no problem to go a long time. I had one base layer change. That's climbing on a cliff. On my bike I'd be jumping in a creek every other day if possible.

    Hey! 22 days is my record too...but with sex in a tent mottled within that time frame. My feet reacted the worst, and I cheated by dipping them into Beaver Creek (the name is a coincidence).

    If we intend to eat out afterwards.....absolutely.

    If we are just heading home....depends on the ride.

    Holy cow – nasty!!!!!!!!! :D:thumbsup: Bonus points if the sex was with a partner!

    Props to you for taking the big shot of elixir. With a willing partner is rarer still. Not for the faint of desire, but a must-do novelty. :sneaky::eek:
