I do (living in Santa Cruz, it is a residency requirement), but I've neglected it for gravel recently. I do sometimes worry that the lack of suspension might be beating on me a bit too much, sometimes, in terms of low-level but nearly continuous vibrations, vs. the more occasional hard jolts one gets mountain biking.
There is a trail here called "magic carpet" BTW.
