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

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!
Those darn mechanicals! Looking forward to your next race!
Lmao thats Finland for you! Hope you had a good time here. We just cale back from mega and no sleep there but for different reasons
I love the idea of a gravel race with a nordic ski venue start/finish. That looked fun.
Thanks for posting. Great race
They call those ski trails parcours. Great for all seasons. We have one here in State College.
No Valtteri Bottas sightings ?
He was on the 77k 😉

Looks like you almost got taken out at 7:38
not being able to sleep on planes is such a curse, man.
Nice haircut.
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?
😬
7:36 thought you were getting wrecked!
