/notscrod, but I didn't get any search hits under his username.

I've had good results with the 700x30 Kenda Kwicks on grass, dirt trails, and moderate-sized gravel. TBH, mine have spent most of their 3000 miles on the road, and now that the tread has worn down (soft-ish rubber), they're fairly fast and comfortable. I think I'm getting my $40 worth for the pair.
