Think it depends if you have a pressure washer or not. But in the end riding through thick gloopy mud isn't worth it to me. It's not interesting, it's slow and it fucks your drive train in the end, you can jam massive knobbly tyres on to cope with it, ride even slower, go an even shorter distance, hampered even further by the lack of available light, then get home and clean the bike in the dark. But I would prefer not to.
Normally I do one or two thick gloopy rides in december/january and then decide I don't want to do them anymore. Would rather fit mudguards and ride an NCN.
Might get a pressure washer next year though.
