Why Beebe Hill dries this way
Beebe Hill sits in the Albany, NY area, on gravelly loam soil that drains fast over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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. The N-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the gentle terrain, about a 3.7° average grade at 1,447 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
