Long term storage?

Hey everybody. I have family out in Florida so I go out there a couple times a year, generally for 2-3 weeks at a time. I don't like being really limited on my exercise program while I'm out there, plus I am making it kind of a tradition to schedule my visits around a triathlon. So I'll be taking one of my bikes with me next week and leaving it there. I will rig a bike hanger from the ceiling in the garage, so it will be stored in doors. But since I only get out there once or twice a year, the bike will probably hang for probably 11 months out of the year.

It's Florida, so I'm already thinking about rust. Bike is an early 2000s Trek Lexa, so aluminum frame. Not worried about that. I am worried about the chain and cables. Also thinking about prolonging tire/tube life as much as I can. Any suggestions?
