Road miles for the fair weather riders amongst us
Discussion
How many miles have you all managed this year so far? I've been out once for about an hour at the end of April. Other than that the weather has been too crap to bother going out. Has anyone else suffered the same?
This will no doubt get spammed by the All Weather Superheroes, but I've got a car so no need to get everywhere soaked to the bone and freezing cold.

Loon, you do write some contentious comments.This will no doubt get spammed by the All Weather Superheroes, but I've got a car so no need to get everywhere soaked to the bone and freezing cold.
For instance, far from being an All Weather Superhero (I may well be, but it is fecking miserable on a bike, caught in a hailstorm on the M25, with heated grips that don't), just because some people do/can/choose to/ love it, don't let it bother you.
If I had a car, more often than not to go to work meetings, I'd use it. But current circumstances mean my wife has the car and I use the train/bus or bike, as needs be.
Notwithstanding a bike 'can' get you somewhere faster, it can also be a royal pain.
I make th emost of good weather too though - I mean there cannot be that many people (cue deluge...) of people who actively choose to go out in foul weather.
Regardless, whilst not able to go out as much as I'd like, I've still managed 10 days this year when the weather was lovely enough and the road quiet enough to make a blast on the bike a real pleasure.
