I'm ok and so is the boy! The only victim was the TOD itself. After surviving being ridden by all and sundry on the Saturday night social do (p1ssup) it died part way through the first lap on the Sunday. It has cottered cranks and on the rear crank the cotter pin worked loose and the crank started spinning on the axle. No drive= game over. We did push on to the top of the course where the beerstop was (natch) and then freewheeled all the way down. The trouble was that because the position of the cranks had shifted at the back my feet were at 'ten to two' but at least one of Will's was always pointing down. Not good. He was smashing his pedal into very jump and bump along the way. Still it was a laugh. We got a prize for 'best mechanical' but I was a little disappointed to not get 'most unsuitable bike'.
