From the Organizer
The Hoodoo 500 is the most scenic, most challenging, and most rewarding ultra-cycling race on the Planet (in spite of claims by others). The route passes through or around three National Parks, three National Monuments and several Utah State Parks. The scenery varies from majestic cliffs and striking red rock hoodoos to aspen and pine forests and high mountain meadows. You’ll race up mountains over 10,000′ high. You might get hot, you’ll likely get cold. Odds are the wind will at one time be in your face, and another time at your back. You’ll experience many highs and maybe some lows on this amazing journey. And you’ll love every minute! (At least after the fact.)
