Nice story on an interesting bicycling event. Sounds like a race, where still lots of thought is put in things besides the competition.

Good example of bike racing can consider gender from Stagecoach400 (Californian off-road ultra). Non-Binary rides get their own category and are not just included in some "inclusive" variant of women...
(Also they have 3 women and 2 non-binary riders in the top ten finishers. 😍 )
The Stagecoach 400 on Instagram: "It isn’t over yet, but let’s congratulate some of the fast folks! Zachary Morvant was the first to reach Idyllwild in 46hr28min, but sleep deprivation, dehydration, and everything that comes along with that got the best of him toward the end, and he ended up on a different climb off route. These things happen! He messaged me to let me know. His finish is still recorded, but with an *Asterix, which just means that the title of the first official finisher of the route in its entirety is Jocelyn De la Rosa who came in shortly after at a smoking fast 46:57. Both of these riders had a great attitude and were respectful and communicative 🙌 Thank you both. Emma Missale was the next rider in, and the first woman with an extremely fast time of 49:51 on this tough course, and she was stoked on the desert. Frances Hacker was first non-binary finisher at 54:54 and enjoyed all the birds on the route. Al Parks was the first singlespeeder to complete the route with a time of 58:02 and they enjoyed the tailwinds dropping into the desert! More riders are finishing throughout today and likely the next day or two. Keep cheering them on 🥳 and lmk if I missed your tag!"
