The Slog, 2018, 160km

My sixth time around the loop; 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and now 2018. I’d entered in 2013 but had the flu the week before the ride and that Saturday it poured with rain, so I sensibly stayed home. The official timing reports say that I completed the ride in 7hr 22min 36sec, which puts me 9th last of the 177 riders in the 160 km event, and 3hr 22min behind Eric who was first to finish!.. [cont.]
