The A-Ok Motel is the ONLY option in Muenster. Not your finest accommodations but it
is clean enough and there is a
great place to eat (Center Restaurant) right across the street. The next closest place to stay would be the motels in
Gainesville.

Directions to Riding Area:
Listed as "Muenster",
the trials actually take place about 15 miles North of Muenster in Bulcher, Texas. Events usually take place at the "3rd
Gate Riding Area" of the Red River Motorcycle Park. To get there...
From Houston - Take I-45 North to Dallas and pick up I-35E toward Denton
where I-35E & I-35W come together again as I-35 North. See "All" below...
From Austin - Take I-35 North toward Dallas/Ft. Worth. Just beyond Hillsboro, take the I-35E
split, through Ft. Worth and on up to Denton
where I-35E & I-35W come together again as I-35 North. See "All" below...
From Dallas - Take I-35E toward Denton
where I-35E & I-35W come together again as I-35 North. See "All" below...
All - From Denton,
continue on I-35 North until you reach the
intersection
of Hwy 82 in Gainesville. Exit here, and turn left (West) under the freeway. It is about 13 miles from
Gainesville to Muenster. The A-Ok Motel will be on the left side as you reach the
middle of town.
There is only one stoplight in Muenster and it is at the intersection of Hwy 82 and FM 373. Still headed West
on Hwy 82, (even from the Motel) you will make a right (North) at this light onto FM 373.
After leaving town, you will wind about for approximately 15 miles before you come to the
Red River Motorcycle Park on the right hand side of the road. Continue on 373, past the main gate, for about another ½-mile. You will come to an old
windmill and the intersection of gravel county road #435. Turn right and follow the gravel road to the green metal gate.
This is the 3rd gate riding area. Contact Tom Batchelor (972-754-9868 or mototrials@aol.com)
for the combination or stop at the Red River Motorcycle Park main gate and tell them
you are attending the trials at third gate. Once inside the green gate, CLOSE IT AND LOCK IT
BACK. From here, follow the pink ribbon to pit area.
What to Expect:
The parking area, and entry road in, is sandy soil and grass. The
parking area is large with plenty of
access, parking and turnaround space for trailers and motorhomes. The riding area actually borders on the Red River
which will be paralleled while on the loop. Sections are primarily sandy valleys and washouts on one side of the
riding area with some nice size rocks mixed into the sections on the other side. Camping is primitive, with no
electric or water, but there are Porta-Potties
for your convenience.
