Hm. You can tell you don't live in the UK!

Round here, I can leave the mud on. Next ride, I'll add a new, thicker
and deeper layer of mud and cow-**** over the old mud.

My solution is a good wash (with a rag and a bucket of warm water and
washing up liquid) once a week. Clean chain with de-greaser, re-lube
and move on.

Just leaving the mud to dry out isn't an option round here.
