It was mostly the induction session - riders setting off going very slowly (maybe even slowing down). Next rider catches them up and has to kick-back, and it goes all the way down the train. Riding in the two-laps on the black/two-laps on the blue/two-laps at the top it happened too - really had to kick back and jink out to avoid slowing riders. Part of it was probably that I was riding reasonably close to the rider in front, and partly that only every having been on wood I was nervous about riding slowly at the top of the banking...
Its great to get riding in a line so early on track (at Manc there's never any organised nose-to-tail riding in taster sessions) but its also perhaps ingraining bad habits at an early stage...?
