This could be a big change for us, or the MTBA could come out early and make a ruling to tell us where they stand.

The key bits are:
"No licence holder may participate in an event that has not been included on a national, continental or world calendar or that has not been recognised by a national federation, a continental confederation or the UCI.
A national federation may grant special exceptions for races or particular events run in its own country."
"Licence holders who participate in a "forbidden race" make themselves liable not only to sanctions by their National Federation, as scheduled by Article 1.2.021 of the UCI regulations, but also run the risk of not having sufficient insurance cover in the event of an accident."

If I was to race (say) Capital Punishment or Fling or Convict, would I then be 'sanctioned' and unable to race a UCI event eg. National Marathon Champs.
