I put more miles on my Specialized Sequoia, but I ride my Trek 820 far more often.
I ride 2 miles of pavement to get to the gravel road. Then I ride 2 more miles of gravel road to get to the gravel paths on the river levees. Those paths aren't open to traffic - only pedestrians and maintenance vehicles are allowed to use them.
After supper last night I put on my lights and went for a 20 mile mtb ride. Got back about an hour after dark. Didn't see a soul once I got on the gravel.
That kind of riding is most satisfying. Just got to remember to take along tools and bug spray.
