A quick wipe down doesn't hurt, but I usually let mine drip dry overnight in the warm garage.
Just make sure to relube your chain (after it dries completely).

I usually dry mine down if they have been out in the rain/been on a real muddy ride. My mountain bike is aluminum-framed so it doesn't require as much care in this sense as does my steel-framed road bike. I wipe down the road bike and lube the chain and other areas that need to be lubed. I do the same with the mountain bike, though it isn't as high a priority.
