I don't understand why you're so adverse to getting dirty in the mud.. You bend over backwards to put yourself in the most uncomfortable situations all year round, why not ride through the mud as well? Is it the bike cleaning putting you off?

I'll ride it if I have to, I just won't seek it out. I hate the wear and tear on my bikes and parts, I hate having to clean everything and it's a lot more fun to be muddy in a 30C thunderstorm than mid-winter. I also ride Speedplay midfoot and as soon as you dab those it's no more clipping in for you. So I'd need to go back to Five Tens and then when they get wet they stay wet for a week.
hippy
Only ride in Australia or countries where rain hasn't fallen in the last 2 weeks.
