I don't ride in mud, but I do clean the gearsets/derailleurs and chain every few rides, especially if they start showing they look dirty.
As far as the trunk bag, I do have to lob my leg higher when mounting and dismounting with the bag. Without the bag, it wouldn't be as bad, but I like having the ability to carry stuff when I ride
