Why Snow Hill dries this way
Snow Hill sits in the Orlando, FL area, on sandy soil that drains fast 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. 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 E-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 0.3° average grade at 33 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilSandy
Sandy, coarse soil sheds water fast. These trails are among the quickest to recover after rain.
CanopyDense 90%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
