MTB east feedback

We’re looking at next season and would really value some honest feedback from riders, especially those who used to race our Elite and S1 categories.
We’ve noticed lower numbers this year and we’d like to understand why.
If you’ve raced with us before but not this season, or you’ve chosen other events instead, what influenced your decision?
It could be things like:
• National ranking points
• Calendar clashes
• Travel distance
• Entry costs
• Course style
• Gravel or e-bike racing
• Family or work commitments
• Something else entirely
We’re already talking with British Cycling about the possibility of our events offering national ranking points, although that’s proving to be a challenging process.
Please be constructive and honest. We’re genuinely looking for ways to improve and make the series more attractive for riders.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
