When I bought my first DryGuy over 15 years ago, I had no idea it would become one of the most essential gadgets in my garage. But riding year-round in the Pacific NorthWET means you get used to being soaked, no matter how good your shoe covers are. And once I started using the DryGuy Force Dry DX, I couldn’t believe I ever lived without it. Forget stuffing newspapers into your shoes and hoping for the best. This thing works way better, drying your shoes, gloves and hats in 1 to 3 hours, with or without heat.

And it’s not just for the rainy season, either. This compact dryer earns its keep year-round as I toss my sweaty shoes (be it the cycling, running or hiking kind) on it after every outing to keep any smells at bay.

Anne-Marije Rook
North American Editor

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from the Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon, she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a journalist for two decades, including 12 years in cycling.
