well I didn't, not very far anyway. In about 57 yrs. of riding ( every year) I've only been caught in a hailstorm twice.
1st time, I was riding in eastern Colo. & it started hailing. Looked for a place to hide ( get out from under the hail) but I was in the middle of nowhere..no place to hide. Pulled off the road, got off my bike, & stood there. with hail hitting me..until it stopped. Fortunately it didn't hail for long..like a passing cloud had nailed me. Last week, same thing. rain quickly turned to hail, coming down so hard, had to pull over..hoping I wouldn't get run over by a car, I moved as far to the right as I could, in a turning lane going into a trailer park.. err..excuse me, " mobil-home community" Only hailed for a minute or so, but that was more than enough for me.
