Being young and dreaming is nice, but no, you couldn't. :) Basically,
you'll have to carry the bike on yourself (and walk up to the knee in
mud). The avg speed is 0.5 km/h.
The cars in the picture move at the same speed with the aid of their
winches. I tried such surfaces on MTB with and without rucksack. Even
without weight you move really slowly.
Technically, it is just the same as shallow swamp or a taiga forest,
except there are no trees to cut to make way. ;)
Dmitri,
Novosibirsk
