'Antelope by Moonlight' ride celebrates 19th year with a Mayan Meltdown theme

The Antelope by Moonlight Bike Ride is back! Join hundreds of riders, some dressed to the tee in hopes of winning the costume contest, for the 19th annual family friendly, non-competitive bike ride at Antelope Island State Park, in the middle of Great Salt Lake.


The ride starts July 6, 2012 at 10:00pm at the Antelope Island Marina and is lit by the full moon. The ride is held every full moon in July. Lights and helmets are required for this ride, but the moon will provide much of the night's illumination. The 22 mile route goes from the Marina to the historic Fielding Garr Ranch and back.

Prizes will be awarded to participants who choose to dress up or decorate their bike using the theme: End of the World - Mayan Meltdown. Judging will be before the ride, at 9:30 pm at the Marina.

Registration covers park entry, a collector's t-shirt, and refreshments (served until midnight).
