Why Mount Burdell dries this way
Mount Burdell sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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 3.3° average grade at 43 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the NW-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear. Trails on the map here include Fieldstone Trail, Pinheiro Fire Road and Partridge Knolls Trail.
