Why Annadel State Park dries this way
Annadel State Park sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on gravelly clay 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 7.2° average grade at 771 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the NNW-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear.
