Hi.

We've recently received several inquiries about what needs to be on a rider's resume in order to gain entry to the Voyager Division of the Hoodoo 500.

At the minimum, a resume should include a brevet series of 200, 300, 400 and 600k. A 1200k would pretty much guarantee a spot.

Finishing a 500 mile race with support would be a useful experience. 24-hour races are good.

The Hoodoo 500 is a super tough race through fairly remote areas. You absolutely MUST be willing to put a rack and bag on your bike, as well as carry a camelbak. You absolutely MUST be willing to carry everything you could possibly need to make it through a long, dark and cold night (and most likely the better part of the second night).

Your resume should include details about how you plan to get through the race; what you'll bring; your general strategy; etc.

What we're looking for is a rider with significant experience in distance, self-supported riding, and who is willing and able to take very seriously the planning for this challenge.

OOPS -

We forgot to write that anyone who finishes the Hoodoo 500 solo, but with support, will also be accepted in the Voyager Division.

We have 6 racers already signed up!
