TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello Weekend...Bulcher, Texas!

Yesterday turned out to be such a nice day that we were out and about at the park enjoying the nice weather...so we apologize that our blog went on vacation yesterday, but we're back this morning. Thus, yesterday was a perfect start to a fabulous weekend...NO rain. NO rain overnight either.

Currently this morning as of 8:45 a.m., we have clear, bright sunny skies already this morning and a temperature of 75 degrees. Riding should be excellent today and this weekend as we expect temperatures to top out at about 90 degrees by the afternoon. We have received NO rain thus far today. Without further hesitation....we're kicking off the weekend and here's your comprehensive weekend outlook report.

RRMT, INC.'S RAIN GAUGE RECAP
Just as a recap, leading up to today, here are this week's rainfall totals that we pulled off each of our daily blogs from the week:

*Monday--NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Tuesday-- Approximately 2 inches of rain
overnight--NO RAIN
* Wednesday--NO RAIN
overnight--NO RAIN
* Thursday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of 8:45 a.m.

TRAILS
All of our trails are OPEN on both the North and East sides of the facility. (Except Bill's Woods & the New Property still remain closed at this time.) We received approximately 2 inches of rain on Tuesday, but by now...that is long gone as our dry soil soaked it up fast. Nevertheless, for the most part our trails are dry and dust is to be expected.

RED RIVER
While the Red River is bank to bank in some areas, sandbars have now made their debuts. Since the river has receded, the amount of water pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek is becoming non-existent...but regardless, still be on the lookout for creeping amounts of quicksand that still lurks and can sink your bike if not careful. Getting stuck is always a possibility even when you least expect it.

CREEK
Creek riding is not a problem as Mountain Creek is at a low level and the amount of water pushed up into the mouth of Mountain Creek where it meets the Red River is non-existent. 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.

It's the weekend and there is no better way to spend it than "Bulcher Style!" Here's hoping your summer vacations are off to an AWESOME start.

We are OPEN this weekend, both today, Saturday May 31 and tomorrow, Sunday June 1 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!


Happy Trails,
