How we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilClay

Dense clay holds moisture and stays slick the longest. It needs the most drying time before it’s worth riding.

CanopyDense 77%

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.
