I had just done a good cleaning of the bike, cassette, and chain the night before...no way was I going to re-clean the chain and cassette the next day. I never go out when it's raining or if there's a high chance of rain, or if the roads are so wet that the tires will kick up a ton of water. I usually am lucky enough to get my 5 to 6 days/week rides(crosses fingers and sacrifices an old inner tube to the cycling Gods.).
