      I understand it will be on one of the (?extreme?) sports channels, but maybe not live as it is round one of a competition and they might just make a show with parts from all the races. Some riders are doing it with helmet mounted video cams as well, so should end up on You Tube etc. etc.

        Well, I didn't win, but I don't think I came last...

        Had a spectacular crash, right in front of a camera crew that I'd been chatting to at the start. Cleats jammed in the pedals so I was still attached and holding onto the bike when I ended right-side up at the bottom.

        "If that ends up on the editing room floor I'm sending it to Worlds Funniest Videos." I heard one of them shout laughingly as I worked out which day of the week it was.

        Buggered the bike up and I bent bits so I was stuck single speeding with the chain dragging, slapping and sucking for most of the course. Have a lovely collection of cuts and bruises.

          I came and watched as I was in the area and will be until Friday.

          No you didn;t come last Threaded, but 2nd to last. How on earth that 80 year old woman with the false leg didnt pip you at the post amazes me, but a stewards enquiry discovered that someone had put itching powder in her leg!!!

                  Would that be the non-false one?
