Why Middleton Bike Park dries this way
Terrain & soilMiddleton Bike Park (Madison, WI) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. 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 1,122 ft, Middleton Bike Park rides NNE-facing ground that keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear; the gentle grade, around 2° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
