Recent conditions

El Corte de Madera sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. 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.
