Trees definitely affect ride quality. The WOD is the perfect example. Sections with no tree cover are horribly hot in the summer. Some sections of the trail in Fairfax County have become noticeably windier in recent years as development near the trail has resulted in vegetation being cut down. But once you get to the shady parts out in Loudoun County, it's beautiful.
