After day one of the Tour and while preparing for the evening's banquet, I decided to wash my snazzy MS jersey so I could wear it on day 2. During the ride from Nisku, I'd been wearing my MEC hydration pack and some perspiration had accumulated on my back and a good wash of the cycling shirt was necessary. This was all fine and dandy - but how to dry it?
Not wanting to drape the shirt over the hotel furniture, I opened the window and the roar of diesel pickups and the blamming of car exhausts filled the room. Ah! Lovely rural Alberta!
I snagged one of the theft-proof wooden hangers from inside the closet - but how to hang up the shirt when the hanger has no hook? Bandana to the rescue. I tied a knot to the curtain rod and using the same granny knot, tied the other end of the bandana to the metal post of the hanger. And voila! A do it yourself clothesline. The line held the shirt at just the right height so that the exhaust - filled breeze could waft its way through the mesh fabric and dry this year's version of the MS jersey.
