Why Base de plein air André-Nadeau dries this way
Terrain & soilBase de plein air André-Nadeau (Sherbrooke, QC, Canada) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 751 ft, Base de plein air André-Nadeau rides WNW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the gentle grade, around 2.1° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
