I found the quote below, along with info on the rest of your questions,
with a single click off the main website (the MMF05 Info link). The
location of Moab can also be found in a single click via the "Map of
Moab" link.

Moab—*located in Southeastern Utah*—is the location of the famous
Slickrock trail, a well known bicycling Mecca attracting some 150,000
riders annually.

For more on lodging and logistics, see 'this post'
(http://tinyurl.com/c2t4u), which has more current info than the
website does. I found that thread by clicking the Search button, typing
in Moab, then clicking Go.

I almost died in the heat in SB at the last CMW... honestly, I felt like
I was riding at 50% of my ability all day, if that. Moab sounds hot.
I'm just not designed for warm weather; I sweat like crazy in 70 degree
"heat"...

No sir, I don't like it.
I'll not be attending.

Moab is high semi-desert. In March, that means you could have
temperatures in the 90s, or it could snow. The three years I've been
there, it's been in the 60s and 70s, with maybe one or two excursions
into the 80s. It's very dry, so it won't seem as hot as the same
temperature in a more humid place.

I've never felt as hot at Moab as I did on the first half of the Friday
ride at Santa Barbara this year. Endurance is more of an issue than
heat; the Slickrock Trail is more strenuous than any of the CMW rides
from this year.

I'm there.

to answer the question above, there are several planned rides, like one
or two a day. Other groups will be doing other trails for less or more
skilled people, extending rides, etc.

Look at moabmunifest.com at the info section.

Last year, on friday we did Moab Rim trail as a group. Saturday is the
day everyone usually does the slickrock trail, and is teh main riding
day. Since there were almsot 200 riders, age 6 to 60, not everyone rode
the whole 15 mile thing, some went halfway and turned around, some just
did the 2 mile practice loop, etc. Sunday we did Amassa back. So yes,
every day has a main ride organised that everyone does together. After
that people split off and go in smaller groups, mess around and stuff.

a distinctive uni.

Yes, Salt Lake is probably your best bet, and most of the folks flying
in will go there. From Salt Lake, it's about 4.5 hours to Moab.

You can also fly to Grand Junction, Colorado, which is about a 2 hour
drive. Depending on where you're coming from and your airline, it's not
necessarily a time savings, however. Example: to get to Grand Junction
on Delta, you're going to route through Salt Lake regardless, so the
time spent in layover, changing planes, etc., could be spent driving
from Salt Lake.

That said, the drive from Grand Junction to Moab has some pretty 'sweet
views' (http://tinyurl.com/995mw) for the last 40 miles or so.
