My commiserations to you all the way from sunny west-f^%$#ing coast. "It is only weather", I was told when I complained shortly after moving here. Then one one dreary but not-yet-raining day someone else greeted me cheerfully with a "cracking day, innit?" Well, my standards are somewhat higher than that. I want some sun or I want my money back.You have my sincere sympathy!
I could handle a bit of rain if it was only an occasional shower; or if it only rained every other day for a few months in winter.
However ........ as I sit listening to the rain battering off my windows yet again, I am reminded that this year has been wetter and windier than any I remember - and there have been a lot of wet and windy years recently. Cycling in constant rain without respite is just no fun, despite what the infantile rules say. It is feckin miserable; end of! Worse than that - it's not doing your bike much good either.
I suspect that those who say otherwise don't live on the west coast of Scotland, and they might not be subject to the same damp, grey, sodden climate.
For me, cycling is recreational and is supposed to be fun. Therefore you can take cycling in the rain and shove it where the sun don't shine. I know just the place............
