Why Military Reserve dries this way
Military Reserve sits in the Boise, ID area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. 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 terrain here is gentle (a 4.3° average grade at 3,028 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the WSW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture.
