Next time you ride in the rain, get a soft Chux wipe and a bowl of warm water with just a tiny drop of detergent in it (the tiniest drop!) and wipe down all the wet parts of your bike. If there is sand, do NOT do this! Wait until the sand has dried and get a soft brush and brush it off when dry. The wash down said bike and then dry off with another dry cloth. Your bike will look as good as new.
Thanks for the tip, Wildflower! Tomorrow should be fantastic weather and I've slated out four hours minimum to take that new bike out. Today would be good too weatherwise but we are going on a family outing. Can't wait!
