Aside from this I like to prove that I can ride my friction shifting drop bar road bike in places that it "can't handle".
My 700c 32mm Grand Bois tires handled the fireroads and loose gravel climbs like a champ. The 90s Shimano 105 SLR brakes stopped when I needed them to.
Besides chain slap and low bottom bracket height, the rando road bike did great on the fireroads, singletrack and the downhill section of the Old Cabin trail. I was even able to take a larger berm with confidence.
