If you don't get dirty, you probably aren't having much fun. There are more ways than you can imagine to get clean, and stay clean.

Clean Yourself

1. Showers
   
   
   • Your campground. (Who wudda guessed?)
   • A campground you aren't staying at. State and National Parks, and some private campgrounds will let you shower for a small fee.
   • Small motels, during morning cleaning, for a small fee (bribe), if you use a room not yet cleaned. Negotiate for a towel and soap, or bring your own.
   • Public swimming pools
   • Fire stations
   • Rain storm - without the raingear


2. Sponge bath
   
   
   • Restaurant or mega-store restrooms
   • Cemetary fawcet (but don't drink the water)
   • Lawn sprinkler
   • Water bottle and wash cloth
   
   
3. Bathing
   
   
   • River, stream, lake or public swimming pool
   
   
   
4. Where the sun don't shine
   
   
   • Before you rise from the throne, don't spare the toilet paper.
   • If your last deposit was in the woods, stop at a restroom to finish the cleaning job. Wiggling around on small solids for only a short time can make the area verrrry tender.

Clean Your Clothes

1. Laundramat - use dryer (monitor closely)



2. Your shower -
   
   
   • soap and rinse before removing
   • squeeze out water in towel
   • hang overnight, spread in sun, or wear

Stay Clean

• Fenders keep your back and chain cleaner.
• Non-sticky sunscreen doesn't attract dirt.
• Bright yellow jersey's attract bugs.
• Baby-wipes help after chain or tire repair.
• Riding on lawns around fresh tar keeps the bike clean.
• Leaving shoes outside the tent (under the fly) keeps the tent clean.
