About this app

Loam tells you whether the trails are rideable right now.

Not a forecast. Not a guess from the last person who posted. Loam models the
actual dirt: how much rain fell, how fast that soil drains, how much sun and
wind the slope has had since, and how much canopy is holding moisture in.

THE VERDICT, NOT THE DATA

Open the app and you get one word per trail network. PRIME means go. CAUTION
means think about it. STAY OFF means you would be doing damage. DUSTY means
rideable but blown out and loose.

You can dig into the numbers if you want them. Most days you will not need to.

WHAT IT KNOWS

Over 1,100 trail networks across the US and Canada, each with its own soil
type, slope, aspect, elevation and tree cover. Two networks an hour apart can
dry days apart, and Loam accounts for that instead of treating a whole region
as one number.

RIDE THE WINDOW

Conditions move fast after a storm. Loam shows the seven day precipitation
history, a five day outlook, and how long the current window is likely to
hold.

LOAM PRO

Watch unlimited trail networks. Get notified the moment a trail turns PRIME.
Get one heads-up before rain closes the window. See what is rideable every
Saturday morning.

Free riders can watch up to three networks.

RIDE RESPONSIBLY

Loam produces an estimate, not a measurement. It does not inspect trails and
does not know about closures, hazards or maintenance. Always obey land manager
rules and trail closures, and use your own judgment about whether riding today
would damage the trail.
