Why MSS Bike Park dries this way
Terrain & soilMSS Bike Park is a mountain bike network in the Saint-Jérôme region of QC, Canada, 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. At 906 ft, MSS Bike Park rides WNW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the nearly flat grade, around 1.9° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 100%
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.

That makes it an afternoon-sun network where mornings run tackier, and the nearly flat grade means it holds puddles in the flats. Loam models this exact ground against live weather rather than using one regional forecast.
