The weather app for the dirt

Tacky, blown-out, or too wet to ride?

Knowday models the soil near you and the last day's rain — then tells you whether the trail is prime, dusty, or too soft to ride without tearing it up.

What matters on the trail

The reads that decide the dirt.

Is the dirt rideable?

Tacky

This is the one most apps miss. Knowday models the soil moisture near you and reads it as tacky-and-fast, dusty-and-loose, or too-wet — and calls a hard Skip when it's soft enough to rut.

How recently it rained

Dry 24h

A trail that soaked overnight rides slick under a blue sky. Knowday watches the last 24 hours of rain, not just the sky right now — so you know if it's had time to set up.

Don't ride it muddy

Skip when soft

Riding a soft trail tears ruts that last all season. When the soil's over the line, Knowday says Skip — for the trail's sake, not just yours.

Heat and wind for the climb

Feels-like

The feels-like for the effort and the wind for the exposed ridgelines — the comfort reads that round out a long ride.

How it works

How Knowday thinks about mountain biking.

Soil moisture is the deciding signal — it's modeled, not sensed, so Knowday is upfront: the dirt is read near you, not measured on your exact trail, and clay holds water longer than the model assumes. Pair it with a quick check of local trail reports.

The 24-hour rain, feels-like, and wind round out the call.

Mountain biking is one of fourteen plans Knowday reads — walks and rides, the lawn, the garden, camping, the night sky, and the water.
