TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello rain...

Yes, believe it or not, it has started sprinkling drops of rain here. Even though it is shaping up to be a yucky day...the rain is badly needed. We will wait until it stops raining to give you a complete total of how much precipitation we end up getting. At this time, all we have falling from the sky is rain...we have no snow or freezing rain at this time. The current temperature as of 9 a.m. though is 30 degrees. It is cloudy and overcast this morning as we are only expecting the high today to be 32 degrees. So we may never get above freezing. NO sun or warm-up is expected, in fact the forecast here is calling for temperatures to drop throughout the day...so we'll just have to wait and see. Today's weather is a drastic change from the record temperature of 84 degrees we had on Saturday! Like we've said before...if you don't like the weather in Texas...just wait a little bit and it will likely change. Hope everyone says warm & safe on the roads today.

Already wishing this winter weather was over...you won't have to wait long...looking at the forecast already for the rest of the week...they are calling for 70's on Thursday and Sunday with the other days of the late week and weekend...in the 60's. This brief cold front won't last long...so get the bike tuned up because you're going to need it.
