Antelope Island MTB


Over the weekend, Thomas, Stephen, and I went on a mountain bike ride on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. The Antelope Island trails are familiar to Tony from a mountain bike race that used to be held there in the distant past, but this was my first time riding there.

Thomas has ridden a little on Antelope Island and put together a high quality two hour ride which incorporated the White Rock and Split Rock Loops. It featured a decent amount of climbing, some mid-technical rocky descents, some longer smoother descents, and strange other-worldly scenery. My only significant complaint was the biting gnats which are minimally deterred by insect repellent. The gnat situation reportedly becomes worse as summer temperatures rise.
