Why Anderson Park dries this way
Terrain & soilAnderson Park sits in the Lansing, MI area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. The terrain here is nearly flat (a 0.1° average grade at 850 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the E-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
