Why Redwood Regional Park dries this way
Terrain & soilRedwood Regional Park is a mountain bike network in the Bay Area region of CA, riding on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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 1,276 ft, Redwood Regional Park rides WNW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the rolling grade, around 6.5° on average, drains steadily rather than pooling. Trails on the map here include Dunn Trail, Sequoia-Bayview Trail and Big Trees Trail.

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 62%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainModerate
Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
