Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about next years event? I was talking to someone the other day who told me that it is very unlikely that it will take place in Bolton again due to the mistakes that were made this year. I for one quite enjoyed this years race.
Any ideas whats going on?

Surely the cost of closing public roads must be astronomical?
Isn't there a private estate / country house etc in the UK with enough private roads that could be hired? If the bike leg was 4 laps you'd only need 28 miles. Obviously you'd need a lake too.
Of course that doesn't mean it won't move
according to IMUK and bolton council (and the local news) it will be here for the next two years.....and you know what...i think the run might be a bit crap but the bike course is an excellent one.
pre registration is open now and according to them it will be in the same venue.....so i'm training now...lol
As for coverage - Channel 4, 8 a.m., this Sunday (27th September) no less. Now if that doesn't grab the nation's, attention nothing will.

perhaps cause it was on my patch i looked at it through rose coloured glasses but when you mention no tri superstars were in attendance what you say makes absolute sense.
you should write a book about triathlon mate.
Graves is off to Hawaii with the intention of setting a new bike course record either this year or next.
