Why Dauset Nature Trails dries this way
Dauset Nature Trails is a mountain bike network in the Athens region of GA, riding on sandy soil that drains fast 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. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The WNW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 0.4° average grade at 623 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
