or having to get in the car and drive miles with a muddy arse
Strip off and dry your arse [and everything else] with the towel you brought with you and then put on the dry clothes you brought with you
Rode Claife Heights yesterday in the rain and it was fantastic! Again, love rain riding as long as it's not too cold or windy.
I don't mind the rain as long as it's not freezing. I often go out! it needs to be done with the weather like it is in this country. Me and a couple of mates did Gisburn yesterday and it rained in every direction but it was brilliant!!! We were very wet and muddy but we had mega fun. 
i hate waiting for the train after the ride though, makes the rain less fun
Found riding in the rain fun on the return leg of my old commute.
It's alright.
I like riding - so riding in the rain is usually better than not riding at all.
eg. last weekend's very wet tour of Coniston would probably have been better in the dry, but it was still a great ride.
Ground conditions are more important to me when it's raining, much of my local stuff cuts up pretty bad after a few days heavy rain so I find routes a bit limited. Which ends up with more time travelling less time riding 🙁
Still take a childish pleasure in splashing through puddles though, so not all bad 🙂
I don't like setting out in the rain, but if it happens on the ride, so be it.
Some trails are just not good after rain - super greasy or boggy. They are sometimes OK if it's raining hard at the time so that there is water flowing down. Makes route planning tricky.
+1 for running in the rain, very enjoyable for some reason.
I don't mind riding in the rain at all, something about careering down a muddy hill getting soaked that makes you feel alive. Also when you're riding back covered in mud people look at you like some kind of iron-man when really you're just a guy who's been on a bike ride in the drizzle.
Cleaning the damn thing afterwards though... 😡
