And one day when you're spinning lightly, try a slightly harder gear for a short distance to note the difference in bike handling.
I have been walking such patches myself - so it is safe to ride over the rocks with my road tires? I figured that I've been overly cautious but wasn't sure that it was smart to ride over them...
