Mid Night Madness at Antelope Island. They were expecting 1800 people to ride their bikes from the Marina to Garr Field Ranch and back (22 miles). We were some of the first ones there and I might add, not the last to leave. We parked outside the gate of the causeway and rode across the causeway. Kind of hazy sun today and so it was good. Sat on the asphalt parking lot of the Marina for a couple hours so we and a whole mess of spandex could chase each other for the next several hours. 10:00 pm was the start of the "non competitive ride."11 miles plus to the ranch where they treated us to a fruit cup, banana, and nut energy bar. There were 50 plus people returning back before we got off our bikes and probably 200 plus already at the ranch. Carrie and her group was some of them. Had the refreshments and back on our way. Made it back to the truck at 1:32 am. Beautiful full, but hazy, moon.

Today's Miles - 37.2

Total Miles - 424.0 Miles

Another evening with nothing to do so grabbed a mountain bike and headed to Legacy after dinner. These night rides are pretty nice, especially after the sun goes down and things cool off.

I'm doing this job in Farmington and it is way too convienent to Legacy Parkway. So any time
I get a couple of hours, I'm off to the trail. I was back on the job by 12:30 pm and didn't suffer none.

After dinner decided to grab another bike ride. Legacy in the lights. Got back to the truck at 10:08 pm and my new head light and tail light works great. Night rides are a lot cooler too.

Got out early today and rode the mountain bike down Legacy. Passed 47 people out using the trail this morning as I rode south, and 45 people (some were the same people) on the way back north. Lots of people this time of the day. Down and back in 1 hour 50 minutes.

Tonight after dinner decided to bike again. What's up with all this free time? Headed to Farmington and Legacy Parkway. Was told earlier that Cedar Fort was without Power and Phone service due to thunderstorms. It looked dark above SLC too. About 45 Minutes later decided to turn around and head back and try to beat the storm back to the car. Thunder and lightning and little sprinkers but nothing too serious. Back to the car at 9:30 pm.

Tonight's Miles - 19.9

Total Miles - 285.3 Miles
