Why Sleepy Hollow State Park dries this way
Sleepy Hollow State Park is a mountain bike network in MI, riding on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. 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 nearly flat (a 0.7° average grade at 791 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the WSW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture.
