TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello Weekend On This Beautiful Friday Morning!

Yesterday and overnight, NO rain. This morning as of 9:35 a.m., we have a current temperature of 78 degrees. We have received NO rain thus far today. It is already bright and sunny out this morning. We are expecting a very nice day with temperatures in the low 80’s today. With an awesome weekend forecast on the horizon, without further hesitation, we’re ready to get this weekend started!

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-- NO RAIN
overnight—1/2 Inch of Rain
* Wednesday--NO RAIN
overnight—2 Tenths of Rain
* Thursday-- NO RAIN
overnight-- NO RAIN
* Friday-- NO RAIN as of 9:35 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.) Another dry week for the most part in the Red River Valley. While we did get a little moisture this week, it is long gone by now. Expect dust and don’t plan on seeing any mud puddles out on any of RRMT, Inc.'s trails.

RED RIVER
With another dry summer…the Red River is for the most part receding. 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 in the creek that still lurk and can sink your bike if not careful. The only place where mud/quicksand will possibly be an issue is in the creek and NOT on trails.

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.

With an exceptionally nice weekend on the horizon (temperatures expected in the high 80’s to low 90’s), the best way to spend this weekend is being outdoors….so load up the bikes, the family, the grill, and the camping gear and head on out to RRMT, Inc.!



And if you don't plan on venturing out to Bulcher this weekend, but rather you are already making your 4th of July plans....since the holiday falls on a Friday, making a long weekend for everyone, RRMT, Inc. will observe the holiday and be OPEN to the public on the following days: Thursday, July 3; Friday, July 4; Saturday, July 5; and Sunday, July 6. All other riding/camping by appointment only.

We will be OPEN this weekend, both tomorrow, Saturday June 21 and tomorrow, Sunday June 22 with hours of operation each day of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend!

Happy Trails,
RRMT, Inc. Staff
