I am so excited to join my first exploration challenge in Indonesia — @kelana.cc . Over 160 km with 3,600 meters of elevation, I will explore Serayu Mountain, enjoy the greenery, and find my rhythm on the gravel. My previous race taught me a lot about patience and strength. I learned how to face my biggest challenge — myself. I learned to ignore negative thoughts and believe in my capabilities, trusting that my feet will take me through the journey. Now, for #Kelana3, I am eager to rediscover myself again because I believe joining this race is not just about reaching the finish line, but about everything in between. Ican running a @sramroad Rival–Force setup paired with a @srammtb Eagle AXS drivetrain, using a black 40T @aarn_ chainring and an 10–52 Eagle cassette. @atac.cult Time pedals. The bike rolls on @superteamwheels carbon rims laced with double-butted @pillarspokes and @novatecwheels hubs, fitted with 38 mm tubeless @iamspecialized Pathfinder tires. I’m using a @bikethomson stem and seatpost, a @whiskypartsco handlebar, a @fabriccycling saddle, and @ron_kingcage x @wolf_tooth_comp stainless bottle cages. My snacks and essentials stay tucked in an @apidura bag. Light from @lezyneofficial with @knog.id backups, and full navigation on a @garmin 530. Thank you @akbarmalik14 , @mbois.13 & @ranggapanji for helping me prepare the bike! Everything you see here (photo, editing, illustration) is made by @smiiiitaaa . Grateful for her support and prayers. My energy is also fueled by the love and support from @tangselvania.cc . Thank you for always having my back. I’ll be carrying my analog camera during the race too. If you see me, just smile — I’ll snap and commemorate our warmth together. Hoping to finish #Kelana3 as a better version of myself. Even though this is a new experience, I know that doing it scared is just as brave. Wish me luck and follow me on Racemap. #kelana3cap09 Kelana 2025 is presented by @biznetgiocloud

#BJCAP21 Bismillah, I’m kicking off my first multi-day endurance race: 1,500 km with an elevation gain of around 17,000 meters, all with this trusty bike by my side. In less than a week, I will embark on my journey for #BJ4. For me, this race is a form of moving meditation, and I am eager to face the surprises and challenges that lie ahead. Ican running a @sramroad Rival/Force combo, equipped with a Galaxy Splatter 42t @sakra_components Kanta NW chainring and an 11-46 cassette, @atac.cult Time Pedal, and rolling on @hplusson Archetype rims with @dtswiss in 32 mm @maxxistires Pursuer tires. The stem and seatpost are from @bikethomson , the @whiskypartsco handlebar serves as the base for @profile_design rest bars. I also use a @fabriccycling saddle and @ron_kingcage x @wolf_tooth_comp stainless bottle cages. For hauling my gear during the race, I’ll be using @apidura bags to keep everything organized and secure. As for lighting, I rely on @cateyebicycle , @rockbros_global , and @knog.id for backup lights. Lastly, for full course navigation, I’ll be using a @garminid 530. Another essential companion is my clothing kit from @gyat.life . Thank you for providing your full support on this journey! To get through this race, I have the invaluable prayers of my loved ones and the unwavering support of those closest to me. Last but not least, a big shoutout to @tangselvania.cc for all the support! Thanks for having my back! This opportunity will be my very first attempt at finishing a multi-day endurance race—#BJ4. I hope to complete the race safely, get to know myself better throughout the journey, and most importantly, become a better version of myself. Please wish me luck and follow me on Racemap.

You know that feeling when every shot already looks perfect in your head. Everything felt aligned, until it wasn’t. Yaa… they didn’t turn out. A cracked part under my camera after years of abuse. No tape, no backup camera. Partly my fault, still a painful fail. The film came back with light leaks. I won’t lie, I still wish the photos had survived as planned. But instead of fighting it, I leaned into it. I mixed the light leaks with the things I buy and keep, and it slowly turned into a story from my trip in Bangkok, one that still feels alive. The memories were always there, just taking another form and finding their way back. Motion and editing proudly helped by @rezameidyawan . #35mm #ilfordhp5plus

Yup, a short field report from the @kelana.cc ride at the end of November. There’s some good news and some bad news, so I’ll start with the good one. The good news is the ride itself turned out to be far more memorable than I expected, from the route to the people we met along the way. Honestly, I was really excited about the Kelana route. Experiencing it in heavy rain and, at some points, intense heat actually made the whole ride even more fun. The distance was around 160 km with roughly 3,800 m of elevation gain, which made the ride demanding but deeply rewarding. For me, this might be one of the best sceneries I’ve ever explored in Central Java. The route was thoughtfully designed and beautifully put together. Huge thanks to Mas @rihanrachman2 , @xtoredy , @rayza_tisnohadi , @riefa27 , and @bombergemini for organizing such a solid event. The other good news is that I finished safely, managed to cross the line before dark, and Alhamdulillah ended up in 5th place. The atmosphere throughout the ride felt really special, and the food was a highlight, especially Sop Buntut Bu Leman. The bad news is my analog camera gave up on me, so a lot of the rolls came out with heavy light leaks after developing. That’s just part of the risk of shooting analog. For this post, I’ll be sharing photos from @ceritakejora and friends instead. As always, the shots are top notch.

First time I’m writing quite a long caption hahaha. For me, @bentangjawa left such a deep mark. maybe it sounds a bit much, but I don’t know why, this race feels truly sacred. Last year I had the chance to join Bentang Jawa. There were so many stories, so many moments worth keeping. This year I submitted again and actually got a spot, but sadly couldn’t join because of work huhuhu. Bentang Jawa, to me, has always been more than a challenge of distance and elevation. It’s a journey of patience, humility, and resilience. Every kilometer taught me something, every face I met gave me warmth, and every small gesture along the way reminded me how beautiful human kindness can be. It was never just about reaching the finish line it was about everything in between. This year, I had the time to capture some moments before the race. Seeing the riders, the nerves, the excitement, the quiet prayers before the start line it brought me back to that feeling. Here’s to the committee @xtoredy @rihanrachman2 @rayza_tisnohadi @riefa27 @bombergemini who always make Bentang Jawa feel like family. Big thumbs up to the committee, the volunteers, and everyone who makes this journey possible. Thank you for keeping this spirit alive, and for creating a space where people can chase not only the road ahead, but also themselves. #kodakgold200 #35mm #bentangjawa
