I've signed up for IM UK 2018 - Anybody else? Also looking for any specific course tips?, I've already booked accommodation and understand the split transition element. Plan to recce the bike course over the next few weeks to tailor my winter bike training plan. Main aim this year is to have a good bike without ruining the run for once.

How are you my friend?
We are always out supporting at IMUK and next year will be no different.
The swim can be murky at times and this year they had complaints about diesel in the water
The bike course has 2 climbs in it Sheephouse lane and Hunters Hill, you have to do each 1 twice, Sheephouse is a long drag with 1 steep bit, Hunters is just steep, the support at the top of sheephouse has to be seen
City of Lancaster Tri (COLT) have the now famous COLT alley, and there is a pirate corner supporting station
The run is hard but generally well supported
Let me know when you are going up and will meet for a coffee :-)
Might even be able to get a few out for a group ride round the course
Thanks SA, Things are okay at the moment ;-) , as well as they could be anyway. Hope things are okay with you too. MemphisRaines that sounds perfect, I'll let you know when I can make it up for a recce / coffee.
If I get chance I'd like to do this before the winter gets set in so I can tailor my local long bike rides to the expected profile.
So, bike is racked and bags are in by Saturday afternoon. Plan is to then get the shuttle bus from the stadium down to the lake in the morning but no access to bags so does everyone just go dressed in wetsuit and throw away item/shoes?
Cheers
Do we get a day bag (to put our travel things in) to throw on a lorry that gets returned and the end like at IM Staffs?
First post..
Im entered for 2018, after reading a few groups on facebook the rumour is that T2 is changing from Middlebrook to the town centre.
Seems to be backed up with the fact Little Mix are playing a concert on Saturday 14th at Bolton FC.
Also on the face book page of Mike Reilly, hes running a poll over which IM he will announce at in 2018.
Unfortunately as a new poster it won't let me paste the link. Take a look... Would make for a great experience for participants and spectators alike......
