I'm one of those weirdos who enjoy riding my gravel bike on stuff that most people typically ride MTBs. I often enjoy - to a limit - the challenge of riding a bike on terrain it isn't totally suited for. That said, there's some stuff in my immediate area that I used to regularly ride on my MTB (when I was 20+ year younger), that I don't ride very often any more. The threat of serious injury is a more significant part of the evaluation than it used to be.
