Why Lake Cunningham Bike Park dries this way
Terrain & soilLake Cunningham Bike Park sits in the Bay Area, CA area, on clay soil that holds water 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 WSW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 1.1° average grade at 108 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilClay
Dense clay holds moisture and stays slick the longest. It needs the most drying time before it’s worth riding.
CanopyOpen 5%
Little tree cover means full sun and wind, so these trails are among the fastest to rebound after rain.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
