Recumbents allowed?


The HooDoo rules seem to not allow recumbents. Did I miss something?

BICYCLE REGULATIONS

A. Bicycles must be propelled solely by human force. The general guide for equipment approval is
based on UCI specifications for time trial equipment. Deviations from the UCI rules must be
approved by the Race Directors prior to the race. If you have any doubts contact the Race
Directors for a ruling.

yes you did

The rule says "general guide." The race director long ago welcomed recumbents and went as far as to say that if they were first across the line they would be the overall winner not just considered the recumbent winner. Then the recumbent folks asking didn't show up. The Hoo-Doo is a great race with a hard working race director. Perhaps one of the best run, most fun races around and I believe the only stage race in the world where recumbents can go head to head with DFs. This thing has Team Cruzbike written all over it!
