First ever Latvian gravel race / GIANT GRAVEL RACE 2022 🇱🇻 [full-onboard]

So our neighbours Latvians finally decided to do gravel race in their own land – with a little bit of mud, a little tarmac and quite enough of smooooth gravel.
There was 4 laps of 25 km each (100 km overall).
Position 30 out of 71.

[ATN: Don’t pay too much attention on data numbers, in some places it’s inaccurate]
