Was good to meet and ride with you all last night!
It was by far the most relaxed paced session I've had, too. But probably what I needed to get the nerves under control since last time!
I've not had the same coach twice yet and each have had their own way of doing/explaining things. That's not a bad thing in terms of gaining experience, but last night seemed a bit rushed at first and could have been explained better for those who had just passed L2.
Stacking 7 was good, I needed that close riding. Did he say L4 was stacking 9?

+1 with the nerves after last time! It's so much easier when you relax a bit but yeah the pace was pretty slow. Also mildly terrifying when that guy kicked back half way around the bend during the trains and stations exercise and everyone had to overlap!
Good to meet everyone and ride with some familiar faces - I'll definitely try turning up for a few sessions in the next month or so.
Other than that I think I need more riding time with a track bike, getting used to the sharp handling, so my c2w bike can't come fast enough...

@pharoahsanders Sure.
Group of 30, split into two based on accreditation level. 15 mins on and then off for each group.
First warmup exercise was riding in pairs with lap changes, then riding in single file on the black line with the whistle.
Second and third exercises were 'stacking' on the track.
Fourth was 'trains and stations', in a single file (slightly differently to how I had done it before, in pairs) with the first four riders sprinting on the black line, with the front one of the four joining up with the back of the 'station' when the group of four caught up, and then the person on the front of the station would join the train.
I elected to go in the lower qualified group because I wanted to ride with the lads from the forum. (Not wanting to sound like a wanker but) I found it easy, and far, far too relaxed with the pace especially with the first three exercises, but fair enough given the session that it was. And it was definitely the most social occasion I've had there (apart from the LFGSSCC track day out), so that was very welcome.
