Have you ever ridden in mud? It's kind of lack that. The knobbier the better. The biggest concern is slidding out of the front tire, so you obviously have to go slow. It is hard to get up the hills, but otherwise no big deal.

I second Vibrato about the road riding. To many stories of people being hit (Forcmeister) and lots of others have trash and bottle thrown at them. I would rather hit a tree than a car any day.
