Why Annapolis Waterworks Trail dries this way
Annapolis Waterworks Trail sits in the Baltimore & Central Maryland, MD 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 52 ft, Annapolis Waterworks Trail rides WSW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the nearly flat grade, around 0.8° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
