There are clearly pressures on numbers, both in terms of coaches being able to control and communicate what everyone is supposed to be doing, and I guess purely in terms of the number of hire bikes available. (Haven't people been turned away already because they've got nothing to ride on??) So if people are hanging around after the intermediate session to get more track time, IMO this is indeed a little inconsiderate given the high demand for newbies wishing to progress. (Especially if they're keeping their arm band and getting a freebie, although I wouldn't know if this is happening!)
