Trail was much more "technical" than MZilliox's post. That would have been not problem. I have 23's on one road bike and 25's on the other. Will take me hybrid out there and check out all the trail. Thanks for all the inputs.

handling is worse on dirt, tires slip a lot more unless they are wide wide. even my 28mm tires slip a fair bit. the good news is if you learn how to slip and slide around on gravel, riding the roads is that much easier.
I would not try this at home, but this video will open your eyes to just what a road bike is capable of. its a super watch, so much fun!!!
