We were about 30 riders attending on a sunny morning after early rainfall. Another group was scheduled 2 hours later. The cops with their blue bikes (BMW, Honda, Yamaha) were 8 or 9, among them a lady, all very cool guys. Like riders... It appeared clearly that their purpose was not to say "please ride slowly for your safety", because they know this would not work, but they rather wanted to show how to ride "dynamically" with minimum risk, however pointing out that the road is not a racetrack and that there can be traffic ahead and in the opposite direction, including vehicles which may "cut" a little bit the curves.
The practical part was riding in groups of 4 plus a cop, up and down a 5km mountain road section which was specially "privatised" and closed at each end for this event. First return was the cop in front to show the right trajectory, then 4 other returns each guy riding in front once, followed by the cop who checked his behaviour. Short briefing at each stop uphill and downhill. Altogether about 50km riding at very good speed, sometimes beyond the legal limit. Not so easy to negotiate sharp curves on wet and in some places dirty tarmac.
This event was a very nice experience, I could get good advice since I'm not that seasoned in riding.
Sadly, only a few people noticed there was an E-Bike parked in the crowd. I got only one or two questions, always the same. People are really not curious.
