If you're worried about numb toes, take whatever footwear you wear from September to April. It's not a commute just because it rains...it's still a ride where you get to meet loads of other cyclists who also didn't let the weather stop them from going riding.
We ride bikes, in the uk...your chain and rims will eventually get wet and gritty...it's just another part of being a cyclist.
Don't see it as a chore, see it as a challenge. Challenge yourself to not let the rain stop you doing it. If the most you've ever done is 11O, there is your reason for still doing it...to ride 26O...potentially in the rain.

All I have left to say is this... The rain never stopped Barry doing it...and it never stopped him singing out of tune, or whistling, or keeping the spirits up of every single person he rode alongside who appeared to be struggling, either from rain, fatigue, or any other reason.

Rain isn't a reason to stay at home, It's a chance to see a rainbow!

See you all on Saturday!

Thanks BRB, it's going to be epic, I needed an HTFU. Shit, I have mates who will be working their 14th 15 hour day on the trot, and when I explain why I'm not working "oh, um, I'm going for a bike ride..." actually sounds pretty nice.
