All Official Finishers of the Inaugural Hoodoo 500 have crossed the
line! One Voyager racer is still on the course, but is expected in the next few minutes.

Janet Christiansen, the only female racer, competing in the self-supported Voyager Division, finished with a very impressive time of 44 hours 37 minutes.

Time splits and full results are posted at http://www.hoodoo500.com

A more comprehensive report will follow... but for now we have to shower and get ready for the post-race awards banquet. The racers and their crews (and our staff) are about to enjoy a delicious buffet
breakfast. Prizes and plaques will be specially awarded to our solo winners Ton van Daelen and Janet Christiansen, and we have dozens of prizes to raffle off to racers and crew.

It has been a GREAT race!!!

Can't wait for your report - thank you for posting the results! :) All of the racers are amazing, but being a woman, I can't help but super cheer Janet Christiansen. She is an inspiration to all riders and athletes. Amazing. :beer:

Hi.

Results, time splits and lots of photos are available on the race website: http://www.hoodoo500.com

A short race report will be sent this evening via Planet Ultra News. We will post that here as well. We're expecting riders to submit their personal race reports, which will obviously be a lot more detailed and emotional and give everyone a real perspective of this type of riding. Those reports will be posted to the website as they come in.

We really hope to see some SoCal BF folks at the race next year! The dates are already set: Saturday, September 13 to Monday, September 15, 2008.

PlanetU, I just got a quickie report and pics from a friend who did the ride, and LOVED it. Rave review!

It looks like a blast. Spectacular scenery, great route.

See you there next year. :)
