Why Crothers Woods dries this way
Terrain & soilCrothers Woods sits in the Toronto, ON, Canada area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. 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. At 394 ft, Crothers Woods rides SE-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the gentle grade, around 3.4° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
