Yes it is.
Seriously I clean the bike every week which is around 150 miles.

I have a CX bike that is my winter and foul weather bike. I ride it about 1000 miles a year in rain, snow and wit hall that road debris you have in the winter. At least once during the winter, I bring it inside to clean the drivetrain but the bike is relatively filthy. The drivetrain is Sram Rival CX1 so I replace the chain every Spring. The cassette and chainring are still OK after 5 seasons.
Road bike should be clean, but a clean MTB or CX bike means it's not being ridden
