Trail Report

This report will be updated whenever the Mad Hatter or the White Rabbit tell me to...

12/27/24 The slight rain earlier in the week is drying. Riders reported today that the trails are in great shape, with a few puddles here and there. These may be gone by the weekend if the sun is shining, temperatures are moderate, and the breeze continues to help the process.

12/25/24 Trails are in great shape and the storm front managed to avoid making a mess of things with under a tenth of an inch of rain. We have a temporary issue with water at the restrooms/showers that should be resolved in a day or two. Plan accordingly. Weather is looking great into the New Year with moderate temperatures and clear skies.

12/17/24 Trails are getting better every day this week. They will be very nice for Fat Chuck's Revenge, the TMBRA event on Saturday. We put in a wider and sturdier replacement bridge on Reveille's Romp just after The Wall. This is the 2nd of the two bridges on that feature. Riders have been out to pre-ride every day this week. Looking at the returning bikes, they have the usual debris from splashes, but no clay accumulation. With two more days of drying it should be very nice riding for the racers, and for day riders on Sunday. Weekend temperatures will be perfect for riding, but may get chilly if you stop to chat. So, just keep riding, right?

12/14/24 RHR saw about a quarter inch of rain overnight Saturday morning. This will have left some of the clay areas sticky or slippery. Probably want to give Blac Trak and Sofa King a day of no rain before riding. Most other trails should be okay, possibly with some standing water in places. Higher temps today and tomorrow might accelerate the drying process if rainfall expectations remain at the hundredths of an inch level.

12/11/24, Riders today gushed about the trail conditions. They loved it, said it all hooked up very nicely.

12/10/24 A rider reported that today it was a little sticky in places, but thinks it should be fine by Wednesday. With the wind blowing all day I expect the Rocky Hill blow dryer to be doing its job nicely.

12/8/24 Another 0.8 inch fell on Saturday. Trails should recover by Tuesday or so.

12/6/24 About a half inch of rain early in the week. High humidity and low temperatures hinder drying of the trails. A rider reports that most of the trail is okay, but avoid the Red Clay as it is slippery and sticky. So, Black Trac through Sofa King should be avoided. Another tenth inch of rain in the forecast for Saturday. Low temps and wet conditions may not be prime riding for most. However, this moisture will provide for some excellent riding in the coming week as the trail conditions improve.

9/14/24 No rain this week to speak of. Riders are reporting excellent conditions and grippier surface than expected.

9/4/24 There's been a little rain in the area over the past couple of days. The weather station next door shows a little over a tenth of an inch. This will tighten up things and make the trail surface optimal. Another tenth of an inch is forecast for Thursday, so the conditions for the coming weekend should be fantastic. We a slowly working on trimming, but the volunteers are few and far between in the Summer. As the temps come down expect to see more trail work accomplished. Please visit the Support RHR Trails tab for information on helping out.

9/2/24 Currently there is rain forecast for mid-week, and the coming weekend (9/7-9/8) is looking like another great combination of clear weather, reasonable temperature, and good trail conditions for late Summer in Texas. A couple of volunteers did some trimming on Pams Picnic, Holdens Way, Mini Me, and Tristy today. Thank you!

Labor Day Weekend '24 was splendid at RHR, low temps and dry conditions with recent rain earlier in the week to tighten up the loose stuff.
