There's no ice, or snow on the roads so I can't see the issue.

stuffed if you live in the UK then!
Man up and get a coat.

100m Yeah right.
whoever told you that needs a good kick up the ar5e.....get out there....
I lived in Onchan for 5 years and think I shrunk an inch due to the amount of rain! Still, it's beautiful when the sun does shine
It is still early days yet, only takes 8 to 12 weeks to get race fit

Invest in proper kit, and you wont get cold (or shouldn't catch a cold) in the rain.
For what it's worth, I think if you read the label, you are infact waterproof from birth
Good kit = no cold!!

Get some gore-tex under socks and wear some good overshoes, gore-tex gloves and a good quality gore-tex cycling jacket and get out there, you'll be fine.
After a few miles I always feel great riding in heavy rain because I think that I am out while everyone else wants to be out!
What if your training for the season, and a race happens to be on a rainy day ?
MTFU and get out there.
Riding in the rain is good prep though, good practice if a race is in the wet.
Note to self, grow some b0llocks.
You don't get colds from getting cold, however if you get very cold your body goes into survival mode to protect your core body heat. This would then make your immune system wide open to any bug that you came into contact with.
Good advise above, dress well in layers, watch out for slippery white lines....
Ive done zillions of coastal rides round the ards peninsula and have been putting in great times , but there is this one bloody stretch from the right hand turn at the roundabout in ballyhalbert, through glastry, kircubbin , greyabbey and back into ards and its ALWAYS a friggin gale blowing straight between your eyes whereas wind was scarce on the rest of the ride
It really gets on my wick, there is wind and there is glastry to ards wind and its an uphill stretch as well. Because I have MS i cant grit my teeth and go hell for leather through the howling wind in my face. I keep going back because I know it will make me fitter in the long run , but I guess i just dont like howling wind that hits ya square between the eyes like I mentioned, and its 15 miles to home into that friggin headwind every time im there.
I dream of a tailwind kicking me right up the @rse when i get to that ballyhalbert roundabout........its never happened,
