I've been in this 20 years... Honestly for offroad, just take new bearings out of the package, slap em in the car with the grease that comes in em and let em ride! When you take your car apart for maintenance... Just wipe them down! Do not go immediately to spraying them out. I've found that just wiping them them off and putting back in the car is perfect. As soon as you spray out the grease... You've now commited yourself to constant cleaning/spraying/Re-oiling.
Ill only spray out a bearing if its feeling gritty. My kit bearings out of all my AE kits last me over a full season... Maybe 2-4 bad bearings between 4 cars in a whole year!!! Just wiping them off.
Now that we have an awesome company like avid that sells all those bearings for $1... $1!!! Just replace those bad boys and be done with it!

Hey man don't sweat the small stuff, like the guy said just wipe them off and replace them with the $1 Avids. All the effort you are putting in cleaning out your bearing and putting light oil that one little bobble you had at your last race and all your effort is null & void.....
Don't sweat the bearing grease...!!!
