Why Aliso & Wood Canyons dries this way
Aliso & Wood Canyons is a mountain bike network in the Orange County & Inland Empire region of CA, riding on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The terrain here is gentle (a 2.4° average grade at 262 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the SSE-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier.
