Whooo, you're bolder than I am!
I can handle a couple of miles of flat, straight, shallow gravel on 700x23s. That's about my limit...
I've gotten to where my 1/2 mile lane doesn't terrify me (although I still paddle down the initial descent from the house, which is over 10%, rutted and curved). But that's because a lot of the stone has settled ... I don't doubt we'll need another load of stone within the year, and I'll be back to walking my bike to and from the road when I ride from home.
I know, I know, I need a mountain bike and some singletrack time to improve my skills. I ain't doing it clipped in though. Nonononononononono.
