Yeah, it can sometimes be really satisfying when you feel like you've taken on Mother Nature, and beaten her
"Ha! You think a bit o' hail's gunna stop me? HA!"

I was commuting to RMIT in '99 and 2000, so doing the 18 to 21km (I varied my route) was a piece of
piss. However, I switched to La Trobe in 2001, which meant a 28 to 30km commute, and that extra 20 or 30 mins in shit weather has really got to me.
I went from being an "anything goes", tough commuter, with 3 different commuter bikes, back to being a "Beach Rd only" boy on my $4000 Cervelo. But I still ride to the ATM
