Who said that hybrids aren't too capable off-road? Sure, there are different kinds of off-road, but I managed to ride my Focus Crater Lake through this no problem.
The weeds were 2 to 3 feet high, so it was a bit sketchy riding on while having no idea what may lie beneath, but thus far it went well. Spooked some rather big animal by the sound of it, but the tall weeds hid it from the view. Might have been boar, as I went past a few small clearings with upturned soil just before. A bit further down the "road" I encountered logs and branches under the vegetation so I proceeded to carry the bike on my shoulder, CX style, until I got to a somewhat clearer place again. Had to spend a while to remove all the grass that had stuck in the rear derailleur and casette before moving on - it's good to have a pocket knife with you.
