Roadies wimps? Not any that I know. If you don't ride in the rain in this corner of the world, you don't ride (at least not much). All the roadies I know have a separate rain bike with fenders and flaps. Come race season, if it's raining, your race bike gets wet.... really wet. If you think it's bad riding alone in the rain, ride in a large pack of 50-70 cyclists; spray coming off everyone's rear wheel. You'll be cleaning grit out of EVERY orifice you have for a day or two.
