Why #2 Canyon dries this way
#2 Canyon sits in the Seattle & Snoqualmie, WA area, on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. The terrain here is rolling (a 9° average grade at 3,251 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the ENE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
