If you have the standard bite valve, you can just pull it off until the hose dries. It goes back on very easily.

Just go cheap like me and take a regular drinking straw , cut it in half, and place it in the middle of the bladder holding it open to dry. hung it upside down with cap open, straw in and bite taken off so tube can drip dry. seems to work well for the drying process.

Sorry to bring this up again but just didn't think my question warranted a new thread

I have swished out my bladder with some baking soda and then a teaspoon of lemon juice (per the mfg directions on back of bladder) and now have it hung to dry.

My question was, tomorrow, can I throw it back in the bag and just leave it with the cap off? I'm not sure my mom's too crazy about me throwing it in the freezer or fridge.

This won't be long term, prolly just a few days or a week at the most as I'm riding quite a bit now...

Thanks.

Once it's dry you can do whatever you want with it. Inside the protective bag seems like the best option. And yes, I'd leave the cap off- unless you store it somewhere particularly dusty or dirty...
