That's what I had to accept for the area I live in. As much as I like MTB's all I ended up doing was turning them all into very light, rigid MTBs with semi slick tyres as that was most effective.
Realised a couple of years ago that a Cross bike was actually a better option and I am faster on it than any previous MTB I had
It can be a bit sketchy over roots/mud etc,. but that accounts for 2 minutes of my ride. Even the Singletrack where I live can be ridden flat out!
