Happy Friday After Thanksgiving!
WE ARE OPEN TODAY WITH HOURS OF OPERATION OF 8 A.M. TO 6 P.M.
Overnight we can report that we received NO rain or snow, in case you were wondering :-) Currently this morning as of 9 a.m., it is nice and cold here (34 degrees), but thankfully there is no wind today...great weather! (You won't break a sweat) It is cloudy and overcast this morning, the sun hasn't made its way out yet..I know we'll be looking for it later to help warm us up. The outlook on the weekend looks good, but cold. We have received NO rain thus far today.

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. Per our rain gauge report...it's been another extremely dry week in Bulcher...in fact, if you're counting...it's been 4 consecutive weeks that we've had no moisture whatsoever. Riding conditions are currently good, but cold. However, with more and more passing weeks of no moisture, dust continues to get worse. So expect dust 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
The summary on the Red River this week is the same as last week. (With no rain, its kinda hard for conditions to change).The river it is bank to bank but the water level has receded so that now the Red River splits and there is a sandbar out in the middle. The amount of water that the river has pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek (where it joins the Red River) has receded, but if you are not careful, getting stuck is very much a possibility since in places in the furtherest part of the creek are still muddy.
CREEK
The amount of water being pushed up into Mountain Creek has receded a lot. There is still some water being pushed up into the creek from the river; however, the water is not the main concern, but instead the mud is. So while riders will find that they can ride in the creek the entire way to the river, please use caution especially in the furtherest part of the creek...because 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. The creek is very much rideable in pretty much all the creek, 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.
Thus, park conditions are pleasant. Hope you can make it out to our park to enjoy some fun riding weather....maybe cold, but a great campfire will warm you up. Get away from the rat race of the busy city life & Thanksgiving hustle and bustle...and escape to RRMT, Inc.! And besides, you need to get your fill of RRMT, Inc. to hold you over while we will be closed...just another reminder...only today, Saturday, and Sunday that we'll be open for riding to the general public and then we close Mon. Nov. 26 for 2 full weeks (Nov. 26 thru Dec. 9) to get ready for Red Bull LMS!!! Red Bull LMS will be truly incredible...don't miss this special event.
Final update for the day as of 5 p.m...today was a nice day...cold though. The sun did come out for a little bit today which helped warm things up a little, but otherwise, today was a dreary, overcast day. We received NO rain today.
We are OPEN today, Friday November 23 as well as tomorrow, Saturday, November 24 and Sunday, November 25 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,
