Why Boggs Mountain dries this way
Boggs Mountain sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on rocky loam 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 NNE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the rolling terrain, about a 11.5° average grade at 2,996 ft, drains steadily rather than pooling.

How these factors affect drying
SoilRocky loam
About 46% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyPartial 34%
A mix of sun and shade. Conditions vary across the network, with open sections drying faster than covered ones.
TerrainSheds water
Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
