I don't disagree that there's a lot of effort gone in and I value that, and don't mind paying for it, now anyway. And clearly a load of effort went in to the whole timing and liasing with councils and what not.
But when my circumstances were different a couple of years ago,that price for an hours cycling ...I couldn't justify it.
The kids races are cheap which is fair. But for adults it's hardly inclusive. The women's fields aren't large and it's mostly wealthy white blokes.
I really enjoy cx, obviously it's not for everyone, but it's defintely not 'accessible'

I don't think it's that bad. 15£ a race if you enter online, and you can enter the whole series of 8 races for 90. Last night felt expensive due to one off 10£ for the number/chip. Seems reasonable given the amount of organisation and volunteer time needed.
