Why Adams Farm dries this way
Adams Farm sits in the Greater Boston, MA area, on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. 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. At 236 ft, Adams Farm rides NNW-facing ground that keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear; the nearly flat grade, around 1° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
