Tyr one of these cross over bikes. Most have lockouts on the shock for road riding and can handle most trails...depending on your bike handling skills. I generally recommend pretty entry level trails, but some get more aggressive.

This is just one example. But this type of bike might fit what you described in the above post. Then you don't need to do anything. They come with knobby tires, jsut not as aggressive as a full out MTB tire.
