I rode the Wisconsin Centurion today. The 100 mile was canceled and the start was delayed 2 hours by thunderstorms featuring hail, torential rain and 50mph gusts. It was lightly raining when we rolled out and continued to rain most of the way. It freakin poured at about the 25 mile mark. The sun finally poked out in the last 5 miles.
So the bike is wet inside and out. I toweled it off and sat it in the sun for a few hours and oiled the drivetrain. When I flipped it a few drops of water came out off the steerer. I pulled the seat post and found it damp but no real water. I'm letting it sit upside down for a while to drain.
What do I need to do to dry the bike and prevent damage/internal rust?
