I just did a cursory spray off, and a WD-40 application, at out son's place that afternoon. Due to not having fenders or sealed bearings, I figured that descretion was the better part of maintenance and did a full pull down of the BB, jockey wheels head set, and the wheels since they all felt rough afterwards. The pedals didn't feel rough so they got a pass.
I suspect the time between that Saturday's rainy outing, and finally tearing things down let the grit seep in and set. I couldn't really do much since I had not packed the necessary tools. Live and learn, so they say.
It really wasn't all that bad, riding in the day's showers, we all had adequate kit and some good company. I'd definitely do it with y'all again.
