This includes trikes, combinations of bike types, etc. Invitations to participate in the Open Division are at the discretion of the Race Director and Race Management. A Racer or Team may petition the Race Director for inclusion in the Open Division. The circumstances must bring a unique perspective on the race and generally fall within the infrastructure currently in place.
