This was an incredible weekend in Moab. Talk about bucket list items. It was surreal being the person on the mic for the 24, a place of hallowed grounds to so many including myself. The weather was actually perfect, with rain right up until the start and then drying conditions the remainder of the weekend, it was fast and furious racing. Oskar Blues Brewery showed their grand face Friday eve and it was on. So many great stories from the weekend despite this being threatened as the last 24 of Moab ever. A night ride for the ages during the race, with beer, and crashes, and broken shit and blood. It's grand to be alive and back in Moab.

Good bye 24 Hours of Moab, you have been a highlight for so many for so many years...
It appears this is the last 24 in Moab, and many leave bummed. I believe the race will return, but the people and racers must make it happen, they have to rally for 2012 and make it happen.
2011 was a grand weekend of racing and fun, 2012 should be as well.
