I'd say in most cases it'd be a good idea, in some case though it might not ... like if you are mid turn behind someone, you see their brake flick on you might react (over react) and get into trouble ... if all it was as them resting their finger on the leaver/peddle not activating the brakes ... well its not good is it!!

Good point my smurflike friend.

Roughly how many people were there in total and how many groups? Was the day run by the track itself?

4 groups, Novice, 2 x intermeditate, expert.

Up to about 35/40 in each group.

Yes.

HTH!!

Of course Jester666 was the only one who was in the position to count the number of riders in the group as he pretty much passed everyone

I thank you!!!

Corrected so he doesn't get a big head

Oi!! I made it out, upright..............................Twice!!!

Yeah and I reckon it was the gravel flinging off your tyres over the track that caused all of the other mishaps. You're lucky it wasn't deep. My mate done a summersault off his bike in the gravel after copse I think at Brands. It's something I'm not keen on trying. Although I'm sure it could be branded as an extreme sport.

Boys, boys, boys ... THIS is how we negotiate a gravel trap!!
