The Lanterne Rouge is awarded to the last place finisher in the Tour de France. If you let us beat you in this race (thereby winning the Moab Lanterne Rouge), check your pulse because you just may be DEAD. 
Let's check the lineup...
Merv - last time he raced this event, his team completed 6 laps (and it was a 5 person team!).
LaRoy - May or may not ride at night...
Brett - Last time I did a 24 hour MTB race with him, he was drinking beer when I finished my 6 am lap...
Martin - Can ride forever...but...slow...like a sloth.
Are you intimidated???
