1st year of Grand Slam. Before GS3 my longest ride was 95Km so success in GS5 will be a substantial personal milestone not only in distance but completing the series. Good luck to all, safe riding.

200kms, better make sure I've got lights on the bike, could be dark when I finish.

All these events are landing on my nightshifts at the moment.
I'll see if I can manage to be sick the night before.

@David - Last year was 210km - well done! Just to clarify for all concerned the start time is 6.30am. Unless your are a quick rider - starting past 7am will be discouraged for loop 1. In such case - loop 2 (93km) will be offered. For those who want to sleep in - check with the event co-ordinator for the latest time to start loop 2 (I think its about 10.30am)

Above says start time is 7am, my event paperwork and map says start time 6.30am?
