First let me thank you for having this event! Training for the 24hrs of Moab has been a two year journey of ups & downs, but I have overcome!!!  I have been in total remission for 2 years (of 26) from rhuemtiod arthiritis. Cycling has been a huge part of my recover!  I rode from Canada to Mexico last year & this season I raced my Mtn bike to 1st.place in X-C & Downhill at the Idaho State Norba Champ Finals & won the Norba overall X-C  series.  All this riding was to get in shape mentally & physical for the 24hrs !!!!  And I can't wait !!!    I have a wonderful support group thats been with me all along.
Over the bars,       Rolf
