I don't mind the rain so much. Here there's no problem with cool temps or anything. But I agree the post-ride clean up I can do without. Also we tend to get ponding, and on road tires when you have no idea what's under the standing water you're taking a risk, plus I don't really enjoy a car/truck coming past and blasting me with water. Here, except for maybe 15 days a years, rain is spotty and can vary from a light mist to a downpour. So the challenge when I leave the house is figuring a route that will stay dry.
