I doubt most of you could ride that trail even on wet screams; sink holes of mud, cow foot prints that were 6 to 10 inches deep and just general moguls of mud. even 29s could not span the dips and got stuck.
I would certainly agree that there can be mud so severe that a bicycle cannot be ridden through it. I have encountered mud that cannot be ridden through on a dirtbike, so I know it's out there.

However, I've also ridden the Small Block 8. It immediately packs up and does not shed mud, and even on the first revolution through the mud, the small knobs are totally useless.

But you can keep riding them if you like.
