Planning to take part in my first gravel race in a few weeks. Any tips / advice /stories from your own gravel experiences? (lemm.ee)

My boss will probably sign me to amateur race in few months.

He will be selling beer somewhere on route and it will be just for fun and my first "race". It is more like 130km trip with some timed parts for pros and wineries and other "distractions" for the normal people.

130km is a lot longer than the 50km that i signed up for. The semi competitiveness of your ride sounds like fun, like it's multiple short races mixed in with some scenic in betweens.
