Olympian and pro cyclist Ron Keifel will be a guest speaker as well as a participant, allowing others to ride alongside him.
Perhaps the most interesting icon in attendance is not from the cycling world at all; Randy Ruhlman returns to apply his skills as a professional NASCAR driver to the now famous La Sal downhill, and share his tips for skillful cornering on this epic, windy descent.
This fully supported event has limited registration and closes early so riders are encouraged to visit to ensure a spot.

Cyclists will cover 132 miles on their way to Moab, where the ride wraps up. It covers various levels of terrain and elevations. here is the elevation breakdown for the ride.
The ride is a fundraiser for the Just for Kids Foundation, which funds $100,000-worth of youth programming in San Miguel County every year. IF anything, it could be a great training ride for 24 Hours in Moab or other races as well. Good luck!
