I have one mile of a sandy dirt road to ride out on every time I leave the house. Even so I only clean the chain (WD-40) perhaps four times per year. I use a synthetic chain wax after cleaning and once or twice in between cleanings. Chain and sprockets are holding up fine. Today's O-ring chains are so good, chain maintenance is easy and adjustments infrequent. Sure wasn't that way years ago.
