I noticed some rust around the front wheel bearing. I never washed my bike, but I ride rain or shine and it's seen a few wet days. It looks cosmetic, I can snap a pic later, but should I be worried?

The outer race is bare steel and will show rust. Not an issue. If the wheel bearing is seeping a little black grease it is probably still good. If you wipe the outer seal with a white rag it will show a film of black grease, that is good.
