My highlights from the Falling Leaves Lahti 2025 gravel event, 100km class. First time there. Was an extremely fun route, with good pieces of technical sections and lots of gravel to crunch. A lot less asphalt sections than in the similar one I went to May in Porvoo.

Unfortunately I accidentally fumbled on the light on the camera, so it didn't last through the whole ride. I also forgot to click save at the start so that got recorded over, boo.

In Porvoo I made the mistake of starting quite a bit in front, so it was mostly looking at people passing me for the first half an hour. Here I started quite near the back, so there was a lot of fun passing and switching positions early on. Finished 95th out of a total of 160 riders who started. A bit better than in Porvoo, where out of 153 finished at 107.
