Why Keene Creek Bike Park dries this way
Terrain & soilKeene Creek Bike Park sits in the Duluth, MN area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. 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 nearly flat (a 0.8° average grade at 640 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the SE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
