Antelope Island 50k MTB Race

[dgw2jr]

As the largest island in the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island is home to an abundant array of scenic vistas, sandy beaches, wild buffalo, pronghorn antelope (hence the name) and rugged mountainous terrain. The backcountry single track in the White Rock Bay Area provides an intimate opportunity to experience many of the natural beauties the Island has to offer all while being on a bike. The Antelope 50k will be the first mountain bike race to ever be held at the Island.


Come join us Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 AM at the White Rock Bay trailhead!

I have been mountain biking in Utah for 25(!) years and I have never ridden at Antelope Island. I've been road biking a couple of times out there with the buffalo and the bugs, how fun would this race be? I don't know if I'd be ready for 50K by April, but I could do the 25K reasonably easily I'm sure. The bugs shouldn't be too bad yet, but the buffalo will probably be their usual friendly selves...
