It’s been 24 hours and the trails are drying out and should be good to go tomorrow (Jul 31st). There was an additional system that rolled throw around midnight but it appeared that FATS only picked up a sprinkle.
There will still be mucky areas so help keep the singletrack single by staying in the middle of the trail! Thank you!

(Aug 13/9am) FATS Update!
Although the system that rolled through last night looked ominous it dumped most of its rain west of FATS, up to an inch in some places. According to the gauges FATS only received about 1/10 inch of rain so trails should be good to go!
Again, it’s almost never evenly disbursed so if you find otherwise please let us know!
Thank you!

Please avoid all local trails if high winds are predicted due to this hurricane. After these weather events we generally end up cutting quite a few trees off the trails. Thank you!

We can’t control the weather only report on it but this is a good report. The front passed through and dumped less than 2/10 inch in the vicinity of FATS. That’s just enough to knock the dust for tomorrow’s FATS Flow Master VII.
We’ll keep an eye on it for the rest of the day but predictions are looking good! Should be a great day with great temps for the Flow Master!!!!

Trails are very dry right now, could actually use a little rain. There is a system heading our way predicted to roll through tomorrow. Hopefully it will move through quickly bringing just enough rain to reduce the dust and improve the tread.
