Riding regions
Each region rolls up its own networks. A region that reaches into a neighbouring state says so, and its page covers the whole riding area rather than the part inside Michigan.
Elsewhere in Michigan
Networks that sit too far from any of our riding areas to belong to one. They are no less rideable for it.

How often are Michigan trail conditions updated?
Loam models conditions hourly against current weather, so a verdict here reflects today rather than a seasonal guess. Each network's own page carries the exact time its verdict was last computed.
What are these conditions based on?
Each verdict comes from recent rainfall, the network's own soil type, its terrain (slope and aspect), and tree cover, run against live weather to estimate how wet and firm the ground actually is. These are modeled estimates, not rider reports, and an official trail closure always takes priority over the model. See how the model works.
