The Mountain Bike races have a classification called "Clydesdale" for the really big guys/gals.  (Honest! I would NOT lie about a thing like that, lol.)  But then its not nearly as hard to get on a mtn bike as it is a horse.

I've had a number of members - well a few actually - ask me to bring up
the category of a Superweight division. That would be body plus tack of
over 250.

That would be pretty elite group. I thought the intent was to make the
weight divisions about equal in number of competitors. The VP article I
wrote last year showed

FW 22%
LW 29%
MW 29%
HW 20%

I think the whole question of weight divisions is certainly worth
reconsidering.

I think SHW would be a difficult sell though.
