Why Mohonk Preserve dries this way
Mohonk Preserve is a mountain bike network in the Lower Hudson Valley region of NY, riding on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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. The terrain here is gentle (a 3.7° average grade at 1,142 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the N-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear.
