Trails that dry quick

Below is list (roughly in order) of XC trails that dry out pretty quick after rain.
1/ Road - yes, seriously - tarmac dries very fast and does not get damaged by bike tires!!
2/ Lower Sulfur/Elbow (skip the bit near SF and enter the trail opposite Paddy's Flats)
3/ Rest of Elbow out to Powderface (Canyon Creek flows fast after rain but I've never seen it impossible to walk through - your pooch may end up in Calgary tho)
4/ Husky/UShoulda (some puddles near bottom but the best bits dry quick)5/ Pneuma (above upper Sulfur to Packers, bottom sections holds moisture)
6/ Lookout road down to Packers and Packers (a few streams usually on the road but mostly a path around)
below here is the OK stuff, give the rain a chance to soak first tho
7/ Ridgeback (top two and bottom section, R2 has had some great reroutes but still has some mud issues also this trail is 'younger' than the above so prone to more damage if you ride it wet - ie wait a bit after rain)
8/ Braggin Rights East and Long Distance out+back in West Bragg
