Same here; the dust is crazy when the weather has been dry. I have one of those Park Tool chain cleaning gizmos and I clean the chain and gears several times each season. I am sure the dust is no good.
It's funny when I put the bike on the car and drive somewhere where the trail is 100% paved. My dusty bike stands out against all the gleaming shiny clean bikes that never see the limestone trails.
