Hey guys. I did use the search function but I didn't get what I am looking for.

I rode to class today and this is the second time it has rained since I began cycling, but my first time riding in it. It was real fun and since it isn't very cold I just rode out in bike shorts, short jeans on top, a t-shirt, beanie, helmet, and leather bike gloves. My leather gloves will be ok right? I don't have fenders though.

All was well, in fact I felt so good that I was pushing some high speed, but I took a spill right when I reached my destination I wish it would rain more in this desert. Anyway, I have one question to ask all you that frequently put up with rain. What do you do with your bike once you get home? I hosed down the bike for two seconds to get off all the grit and now I'm letting the bike dry off.

Do I have to worry about rust? It is a steel frame, but what if I rode on my aluminum frame. I'll wipe the bike with a rag but I don't know if there is anything else I should do. I rode my fixed gear, for the same reasons I read why people ride them in the snow, if that makes a difference.

thanks in advance
