I have usually taken two pairs of shorts. If you get soaked it's good to have a dry pair the next morning. On indypac I forgot one pair so just had one and didn't have any issues. Mike always just used one and many others do.
I'll wash them in a hotel every few days. Doug Migden says his strategy is to take two pairs, wear the first pair for the first week, bin them and wear the second pair until the end.
I used to believe the stuff you get told about how important it is to have clean shorts every time you ride, but it is clearly not supported by experience.
