Our Ride to Oz is TOMORROW! Who is ready for a magical evening under the full moon?

A few reminders:

🌕 Check-in begins at 7 pm. The ride starts at 10 pm. Come early for food trucks, contests, and fun!
🌕 You must be at the Antelope Island entrance gate before 9:30 pm. Give yourself extra time to get through the entrance gate and to park in case of traffic.
🌕 Always be mindful of the riders around you and follow standard bike etiquette. There will be riders heading in the opposite direction and at a different pace than you. If you are a slower rider, stay on the right. If you will be using an e-bike, please be extra cautious of those around you.
🌕 Know your limits and turn back at any time before the official turnaround point. Just make sure to safely pull over and watch for oncoming traffic.
🌕 There's still time to pull together an epic costume or bike decorations for our Ride to Oz contests. We'll be giving away over $5,000 in prizes!

Thank you to Intermountain Layton Hospital for being a 2025 Major Sponsor and helping make our Ride to Oz magical! ✨

✨ Friendly Reminder for All Riders! ✨

All participants must check in before the ride begins and pick up their official event wristband. Your wristband is your golden ticket down the Yellow Brick Road — event staff will be checking that every rider has theirs at the bike line-up before we roll out!

Only registered participants with a wristband qualify to take part in activities such as costume contests, stage events and giveaways, or receive prizes of any kind.

A huge thank you to Weber State University Davis Campus for sponsoring this year’s event wristbands and helping make our Ride to Oz possible.

We can’t wait to see you out there under the moonlight! 🌕🚴‍♀️

One of the best parts of the Antelope by Moonlight Bike Ride? Getting here early to fuel up before you follow the Yellow Brick Road!

We’ve got a delicious lineup of local food trucks ready to feed you and your crew. They'll start serving at 7:00 pm!
⭐️ Nachos Live
⭐️ The Zone Bus
⭐️ Where's Aldo? Taqueria
⭐️ Utah Killer Dogs
⭐️ Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard

From tacos and nachos to hot dogs and sweet treats, there’s something for every munchkin in your group.

📣 Pro tip: Bring some cash along just in case. It helps if cell service is spotty for credit card transactions out on the island.

So come early, grab a bite, and soak up all the Ride to Oz fun before we roll under the moonlight! 🌕✨
