1. Get Home wet through.
I do the first and don't do the remainder.

3. Stick the bike in the bath for a shower massage set to the gentle spray setting.
4. Dry the frame throughly with a dry towel.
5. Wash/Dry both wheels.
6. Lube up the chain/cassettee/chainring/derailleur.
7. Put a coat of turtle wax on the bike in the fall to protect the frame & wax accordingly throughout the winter.

Anything I should add? or might have overlooked?...
Sometimes I hang my wet gloves and shoes from it and aim a fan at it. It dries the clothes and drivetrain quicker that way.
