Why Fort Rock/Exeter dries this way
Fort Rock/Exeter is a mountain bike network in the Central New Hampshire region of NH, riding on loam soil that drains well 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. 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 190 ft, Fort Rock/Exeter rides ENE-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the nearly flat grade, around 1.3° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 89%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
