Great idea, do you want to help come up with some questions?

It sounds like we have a lot of valuable data, but no real answers. It
might be in our best interests to send out a survey to all MTB license
holders and find out first hand what would motivate them to race more. A
customer service survey just might yield the information really needed
at this point.

Good point. And that would be supported by one of our lengthy
discussions from last year; the main reason for the race calendar being
skewed towards early season events is due to the school schedule.
