TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Happy Friday...Finally The Weekend Is Upon Us!

Overnight we can report that we received NO rain. Currently this morning as of 8:50 a.m., we have clear, sunny skies, are enjoying great temperatures, and have received NO rain thus far today. Today is going to be a WONDERFUL day to ride; furthermore, the outlook on the upcoming weekend looks great...so Let's Get Started!

Here's your usual comprehensive Friday report on detailed park conditions....

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN both on the North and East sides of the facility. If you have started to see a pattern above in our rain gauge report...there is one indeed....it's VERY DRY...no moisture at all this week or the week before (that's 2 weeks straight with NO rain at all). As a result, riding conditions are still good, but dust continues to become more of an issue and is to be expected out on the trails. Also, as a result of the dry conditions, we do not anticipate riders seeing any puddles or mud out on the actual trails.

RED RIVER
Long story short...believe it or not, Red River is still bank to bank. The amount of water that the river has pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek (where it joins the Red River) is still substantial enough to make for a muddy mess down in the furtherest part of the creek. (And we just don't seem to be drying out (the mud) that much as a result of the cool FALL temperatures we have been having.)

CREEK
The amount of water being pushed up into Mountain Creek continues to recede but is still more than enough to prevent some riders from being able to get all the way down to the river. On the other hand, other riders are now able to ride in the creek all the way to the river by getting up on a small strip of land on the side of the bank of the creek. However, we still must emphasize that there is WATER, MUD, and QUICKSAND in the creek and getting stuck is still a big possibility. Therefore, please use caution when riding in the furtherest part of Mountain Creek down towards the Red River. Nevertheless, for sure, people will discover that they can ride the majority of the way there in the creek, but once they get down closer to the river, they will have to get out of the creek upon dry land and go the rest of the way if they desire to get to the river. Because the creek is very much rideable in the majority of it, thus the creek is crossable in a number of areas so riders may easily access the trails on both the North and East sides of the facility.

In summary, conditions at the park are good despite it being dry. Cool mornings and evenings with a warm-up during the afternoon make for a PERFECT WEEKEND OUTING ADVENTURE. Only 3 more weekends to enjoy RRMT, Inc. before we close for 2 full weeks (Nov. 26 thru Dec. 9) to get ready for Red Bull LMS...an incredible and unbelievable event.....come see us this weekend!

Final update for the evening as of 7:50 p.m...well today the weather was kinda strange...we saw a little bit of sun this morning, then by late morning, we experienced hazy, cloudy conditions, but by afternoon, it had cleared off again as the sun came back out. All in all, today we enjoyed pleasant temperatures and received NO rain.

We will be OPEN this weekend both tomorrow, Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please note that the park is NOW observing fall/winter hours and thereby all riding ceases at 6 p.m.!

Happy Trails,
