I appear in your video so am quite interested in this post being one of the slower riders out there. I also was in the " I could ride faster than that brigade" before i started racing and it isn't as easy as it may appear. Yes the guys at the back appear slow but they are riding to the limit of their ability and ultimately it is the responsibility of the faster riders to keep out of the way. That is one of the reasons why we wear orange vests as novices. At the end of the day its a club race and not a national championship so its open to all abilities.
Having said that there was a seriously slow guy there who even I lapped and it was quite a shock how slow he was going.
