Finland Gravel | Race Recap

1 week after Unbound Gravel I hopped on a plane and jumped the Atlantic for Finland Gravel. From the same folks that put on Steamboat Gravel I was looking forward to a good race. The course did not disappoint! We started on ski trails then got into the Finnish outback and ripped some really fun gravel and logging roads.

I finished up 15th after a small mechanical about 1.5 hours into the 5 hour race. The legs felt surprisingly good and I was happy to take a little mid season break after this one.

Great recap Kerry. Thanks for coming out to ride with us and hope to see you again next year, minus the mechanical! 🇫🇮🏁

I had a ''seat mechanical'' too in a gravel race last year Kerry. But it wasn't the seat post; it was the seat itself that tilted forward to about 10 degrees when I hit a bump pretty hard. With only about 15km to go I toughed it out much to the chagrin of my ass.😅

Amazing, Kerry! So glad you've got some fun time-down time in a beautiful place. Very cool you're headed to MTB Nat's, best of luck and safe travels!

They call those ski trails parcours. Great for all seasons. We have one here in State College.

I love the idea of a gravel race with a nordic ski venue start/finish. That looked fun.

Those darn mechanicals! Looking forward to your next race!

7:36 thought you were getting wrecked!

Pity… I think it’s time to upgrade to Locite, torx specs can be fine but to safeguard yourself just slap in the extra insurance!
At least you got a good result, that course looked epic, what a beautiful route.
Rest up and travel safe.

Looks like you almost got taken out at 7:38

not being able to sleep on planes is such a curse, man.

Too bad on your seatpost trouble. So you burned 1000 calories per hour, yet your intake was under 3000 calories total?

Does Emily ever get to travel with you?
