Do I Have To?

I've reached the point of feeling obliged to ride every day, rain or shine, howling winds and blinding snow...IN MAY! This weather is getting ridiculous, and it's really hard to get amped up for rides in these conditions. A short weekend ride started off with sunny conditions, but rapidly deteriorated. Halfway through the ride it started raining, then sleeting, and limbs were falling all around me as I had to avoid all manner of small branches and organic matter on the roads. The downhill that normally gets me up to around 40 mph had me braking and swerving all the way down.

Please, jet stream, find a different deviation. This cold weather gear is getting annoying.
