Why Grant Flatwoods Sanctuary dries this way
Terrain & soilGrant Flatwoods Sanctuary is a mountain bike network in the Melbourne region of FL, 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. At 33 ft, Grant Flatwoods Sanctuary rides ESE-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the nearly flat grade, around 0.5° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
