Moonlight Bike Ride

On Friday night me and my good friend Missy Smithing, rode the 22 mile bike ride at Antelope Island. It was my first time riding at night. The ride started at 10pm, we actually were running a bit late, so we didn't start riding til about 11pm. Here is us before the ride....

We were really nervous at first, because of how many bugs we hit on the way into the Marina. I don't think I've ever seen so many bugs, but once we started riding weirdly enough we hardly saw any bugs. Antelope Island is really dark at night, it was really pretty looking at the stars and the reflection of of the Great Salt Lake. I haven't ever ridden on Antelope Island so I was surprised at how many hills there were. It's challenging riding in the dark, but a fun experience. At the half way point they had refreshments, I tried taking pictures but since it was so dark they didn't turn out so well. Here are some of us eating fruit, and an attempt at the barn at night....



We didn't get home till about 1:45am, I was exhausted, but so glad I did it! I love trying new things. So if anyone is interested in coming next year, I'd love to do it again!
