Any suggestions - decent shower room at work but limited drying space and large, thick cotton towel not the best plan and will soon start to smell of wet dog! Any suggestions?

I used to use microfibre towels, ebay have loads.

Need washing regularly though, I got a couple of days use before it needed washing. So buy a few and rotate.

Use a flannel first to do most of the drying, then a small towel after.

I hate microfibre towels. I use a cotton towel that is so old that its as thin as a microfibre one, but it dries you.

Cheap microfibre towels are awful.

A towel? How fastidious.

Where I used to work we had good changing and showering facilities. Came in one morning in Summer to find a fellow cycle commuter who had just ridden in wearing his work clothes standing there fully dressed, drying off his pits with a hair dryer.

Remove as much water from your person with your hands first.
That way the towel has less work to do.

This is what I do, I have two hooks on the side of my locker that I hang my towel over and the towel is always dry next day.
