At the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle to learn more on cycling coaching. Meet people from around the world and talking about cycling. Yes, doing and talking about cycling make everyone exited! Blessed to be here to gain some knowledge, and surely will see these people again 🫶🏽 Thanks, coach 🫡 #ucicoachingcourse

Long the way to be here. I am so glad. And so much people support this journey. Thanks so much 🥹🫶🏽 Wish me luck in the @gravelista.cc 🇮🇩🇦🇺

Rabu pagi, saya bertolak dari Pacitan. Seribu kilometer. Tegalombo di depan mata. Masih dingin. Dengan sisi kiri tebing menjulang, dan sisi kanan hamparan sungai bebatuan. Tegalombo dengan semua pesonanya itu, tidak bisa menyihir kayuhan menjadi ringan. Sambil mengingat-ingat berapa kilometer lagi tanjakan ini akan usai, rasanya panjang sekali, tidak ada tanda-tanda ada turunan. Oh, saya tidak menyalakan fitur tanjakan di cyclocomp saya. Jadi ya hanya mengingat-ingat perjalanan tahun lalu saja. Bagi saya, hari itu sangat kritis. Saya perlu banyak berhenti. Sekadar mengisi perut, isi ulang air, atau meletakkan badan di bangku warung. Mata hanya terpejam 10 menit. Lalu mengayuh kembali sambil marah-marah pada angin hari itu. Sebenarnya hari sebelumnya, saya sudah marah-marah pada angin sampai menangis. Tapi rasanya hari ini, tenaga saya habis untuk melawan angin. Dari Trenggalek menuju check point 2 di Blitar, mobil dan truk besar sudah saling bersisian. Beberapa dotwatcher menyapa saya di jalan. Sungguh menjadi penyemangat meskipun badan sudah mulai lunglai. Magrib, saya sampai di Blitar. Hari itu, ternyata saya harus berhenti. Saya tidak bisa mencapai target saya. Mengayuh 15 kilometer lagi, rasanya sudah tidak sanggup. Akhirnya memutuskan bermalam di Malang. Saya harus terima, bahwa tidak semua harus sesuai rencana. Bahwa saya masih dapat beristirahat pun harus disyukuri. Bahwa tidak semua ambisi harus menjadi momok diri. Bahwa masih ada hari esok, dan bertemu matahari. Terima kasih @we.inframe telah mengabadikan. @bentangjawa 2024, Pacitan-Malang. Bentang Jawa dalam 115 jam. #iamspecialized #bentangjawa #bentangjawa2024 #ultracycling #specializedaethos

Easy pace through the city Good laps, good people, good energy. MET Social Ride — Dalkot edition. Keeping the speed chill, but the vibes rolling.

Say hi to Jakarta dalkot: red skies above and good company beside. 🚴🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️ @machineoffreedom 📸 @mfenno29 🎥 @brow_herman

Nggravel - Blitar I thought I knew what East Java roads were like after my East Java Journey last February. But turns out, I knew nothing. This route went way beyond my expectations: endless trails, chunky rocks, and relentless terrain. I held it together for about three hours, then my hands gave up. Skipping gloves on an off-road course? Yeah… not my smartest move. But honestly, I loved it. The route, the scenery. Blitar is stunning. Cornfields, rivers, rolling hills, and all of it! It was so good to see more women lining up for this race 😍🤛🏽 Congrats to everyone who made it through this 100 km off-road challenge 🙌🏽 See you next year!

Finally we bring ‘Ngopi Ribet’ to life. Coffee becomes special when it’s shared: the stories, the people, and nature all in one moment. Plan to have another one. 📸: @bajing_loncat @hadi_tombro #coffee #NgopiRibet

Arfiana Khairunnisa dan Ivo Ananda menjadi satu-satunya pair perempuan di East Java Journey (EJJ) 2026, 1.500 km. Mereka berhasil survive, menuntaskan rute dengan total menanjak lebih dari 15.000 meter tersebut. Sebagai bonus, mereka meraih podium ketiga kategori pair, sekaligus meraih award Lanterne Rouge sebagai survivor terakhir sebelum cut off time. Bagaimana perjalanan mereka? Kendala apa saja dihadapi di perjalanan? Apa yang paling berat di event 1.500 km ini?

1,500 km is never easy. But, every ultra teaches me something new about my body. My last ultra race was Bentang Jawa 2024, after which I shifted my focus more toward gravel racing. But this one was inevitable: East Java Journey 2026 @mainsepedacom I was paired with @ivoananda , and our goal was simple: finish within the cut-off time. It felt ambitious, but in the end, we crossed the line just under the cut-off… as the very last riders to enter the finish gate. Lanterne Rouge. And honestly, I couldn’t be happier. We finished safe and sound, giving everything we had left. The route was far beyond what I expected. So many steep climbs. There was one section where we could only hike. Brutal descents (-31%, and several at -19% that I simply couldn’t handle). Gravel, broken roads, relentless crosswinds along Jalan Lintas Selatan, and my biggest enemy: the heat and humidity. This time, the heat and humidity were not my friend. I wasn’t prepared for it. February in Indonesia is usually still deep in the rainy season. Even in my hometown, Jakarta, where I train and live, it had been raining almost every day for a month. I never imagined East Java would feel like this. It was beyond my expectations. Thermoregulation failure, that’s my coach told me. My legs felt fine. No pain. But under the sun, I had no power. From sunrise to sunset, whenever the heat peaked, I had to get off the bike and push on the steep climbs. I could only slow the pace, or stop. Because I thought, I had not eat enough. How did this happen? I hadn’t trained in the heat. So even if glycogen exists (I really eat a lot), my muscles cannot use it efficiently. Another note: my skin is extremely sensitive to heat and humidity, and it triggered heat rash. I experienced it before at Lintang Flores 2024, but this time it was worse. Even at the finish, the itching hadn’t stopped. Thank you, dr @nath_nath28 @tri.ayu.lestari for the prescription. So… what’s next, Mba Ivo? 😜

Secuil perjalanan seru 1500 km East Java Journey @mainsepedacom bareng mba @fiankh 🚴🏻‍♀️🚵🏻‍♀️⛰️🏔️ Nol latihan bareng tapi alhamdulillah ndilalah koq ya kompak metabolisme kita. Ya saat lapar, saat ngantuk, saat microsleep, saat beser, saat ketut, saat ngebut, dan tentu saja saat sinting 🤣 Mba Fian punya pembawaan kalem, bikin nyaman pol woi. Tanpamu dan pengalamanmu mba, nggak akan buToyib bisa melalui semua ini 🫶🏻 Thank you mbabroo 🙌🏻 peluuuukkk 🤗 Terimakasih syukur alhamdulillah ya Allaaah atas kelancaran, kesehatan, dan keselamatan yang kau berikan pada kami hingga finis penuh haruuu 🥲🙏🏻 *bagian peyoknya tunggu next post ya 🤣🙈 #cycling #cyclinglife #ultracycling #1500km #eastjavajourney1500km

Satu-satunya pasangan all-women di East Java Journey (EJJ) 2026, target Fian dan Ivo sejatinya adalah mengejar finish sebelum Cut off Time, sambil sebisa mungkin menikmati rute yang dilewati. Sebelum ini, Fian sudah pernah finish EJJ 1.500 km dan juga Bentang Jawa. Namun bagi Ivo, ini adalah event 1.500 km pertamanya. Walau sebelumnya Ivo pernah berkali-kali finish EJJ 600 Km, dan memenangi berbagai event KOM, plus pernah menjadi perempuan Indonesia pertama yang menuntaskan Unbound Gravel 100 mil. Sempat struggle pada dua hari terakhir, keduanya tampil sangat konservatif pada hari terakhir untuk memastikan bisa finish sebelum CoT. Pada saat itu, banyak peserta kategori pair sudah dinyatakan DNF. Jadi, hanya dengan mencapai finish, mereka juga mendapatkan bonus. Yaitu finish di posisi podium pair. Fian menunggangi Wdnsdy Journey KS, dengan kombinasi grupset SRAM AXS XPLR 1x (single chainring). Sementara Ivo memakai Wdnsdy AJ1 Titanium EVO, dengan grupset SRAM Force AXS D2 plus E1 shifter. Setelah ini, Fian akan kembali fokus persiapan mengikuti UCI Gravel World Championship (kejuaraan dunia gravel). Sedangkan Ivo, mungkin sudah berani berpikir ikut Bentang Jawa...
