Why Flat Rock Ranch dries this way
Flat Rock Ranch is a mountain bike network in the San Antonio & Hill Country region of TX, riding on clay soil that holds water over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. With little tree cover, sun and wind get to the dirt fast. 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 E-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day, and the gentle terrain, about a 3.5° average grade at 1,759 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
