Why Las Trampas dries this way
Las Trampas is a mountain bike network in the Bay Area region of CA, riding on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The terrain here is rolling (a 5.2° average grade at 833 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the NNE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear. Named trails in this network include Old Moraga Ranch Trail, Clyde Wood Trail and Sumner's Trail.
