What can I say about the trip out to Antelope Island… Actually, I can say alot. Antelope Island has by far been one of the most enjoyable rides I’ve taken on a scooter and I won’t be far from forgetting it anytime soon.
The ride started bright and early at 9:00 AM from Orem through the small towns and houses of American Fork, and up to the infamous Suncrest Mountain. Once all of us made it over and fueled up on the other side, it was time to issue the covetous “Brigham’s Bees Lifetime Achievement Award” For 2010.
Now this member may not have the best attendance in rides, but when he shows up, the excitement in the air increases, the atmosphere is more cheery, and womenfolk’s libidos go crazy.
Boo Crandall has been in the club since 2001 and nine years later, he is still on his 59′ Vespa tearing it up all over the valley. Boo, this Lifetime Achievement Award is for you!
Once we awarded Boo, it was a quick sprint to Salt Lake City. With little time to spare, we were able to meet up with the Salt Lake crew (Thanks for waiting for us!) and made our way up to the island. Though we had a few breakdowns and tire flats, we made our way to the final gas station before we headed to the island. Alot of people chatted while we waited for the stragglers and broken down to meet up. We were able to finally join two parts of Utah together. Utah Valley and Salt Lake scooterists meeting up, laughing, talking, and just enjoying each others scooters.
We scooted our way up to the island and rode around there for an hour. From the views of the beaches, to the ranch, to even a bistro in which insects ate us alive (I got bumps all over my arms) We took photos, and enjoyed the beautiful day. After we took in the cool view of the island, we headed back into Salt Lake City for some awesome pizza at The Pie Pizzeria and then back to Orem by sundown. We spent about a total of 10 hours on our adventure, and every minute was a blast. Thanks everyone that showed up! You have proven your true scooter passion! See you next time in Payson for some bowling!
