Why Bethlehem Trail Association (BTA) dries this way

Bethlehem Trail Association (BTA) is a mountain bike network in the Central New Hampshire region of NH, riding on loam soil that drains well 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. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. At 1,949 ft, Bethlehem Trail Association (BTA) rides E-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the rolling grade, around 6.7° on average, drains steadily rather than pooling.
