Also I found there three guys on motorcycles and all covered in mud who were doing approximately the same stuff as me

The ride to work has been quite successful too, I really can't imagine leaving those fields and trails for a busy road even if it would make difference in travel time.

Also I love the sound that wheels make when I ride fast enough and they push air apart (usually on paved road)
Told ya

You may want to get some better meats (aka tires) for those trails, however. The stock tires are nice for smoother trails but they'll come up lacking for roots and rocks. Otherwise, get out there and have fun.
