Camelbak Storage Question - Please Critique

I just got a Camelbak Rogue for MTB, etc. I intend to only use water. Please critique my plan of action.

After a ride I will flush out and then fill the blader with water and place it in the fridge until the next use instead of cleaning it out and letting it dry.

Have you ever discovered things growing on your food in the refrigerator?

Why do you think that drying thoroughly between your toes helps prevent athlete’s foot?

With just plain water you shouldn’t run into any problems. If you are really worried about it you can always put it in the freezer.

That’ll work just fine.

Or, you can put it in the fridge empty (no leaks this way - but, it’s nice to have it full already of cold water when ya grab it to go), or even store it empty in the freezer. (just run under warm water to thaw, then fill as normal)

Or, do none of that, just let it sit partially full of water for like a month, then just top it off, and go ride. Then spend the rest of the ride wondering what those black and grey floaties are, and if they are that bad for you or not.

I have done all of the above.
