One windy August evening, in the city surrounded by hills, I sat alone in the dining area of a convenience store with my laptop. I wanted to write to please one: myself (courtesy of Kurt Vonnegut). It's been quite a while.
Where should I start? Maybe by noting that it's almost five years since I posted an entry here. This is to also check in that I'm still alive and still riding bikes. It's been a long way since that last social ride with KPXI.
Speaking of KPXI, I'm still a member of the group chat even though I no longer join their social rides. I've sold Xena, the Xtrada 6, 3 years ago. I'm riding Cervelo Caledonia as of late. Yes, a road bike.
Tumblr media
There's a word in Sundanese language: waas. Closest thing to that in English would probably bittersweet. It's the feeling I feel whenever I pause and have a look back to the first time I rode bikes, the time with Titi and then eventually Xena, my first MTBs, the instruments of adventure.
I feel a lot of waas whenever I read past entries in my journal, especially about the dreams of going on a big ride.
Because now I can write that dreams come true. They do, eventually.
It began with BUCC 300 in 2020, part of Audax Indonesia's series of BRM. It's a 300km ride with a time limit of 20 hours. When I heard that the start would be from Bandung, I wanted to sign up. I didn't care if I had to go with my mountain bike, I wanted that adventure. Covid hit and the event was postponed to August in the same year. By that time, V, having caught bike fever like everybody else, just purchased a steel Marin gravel bike. I rode my first 200km ride on that bike in preparation for BUCC. On the evening of August 15, 2020 - an evening like this one - at around 10 PM, I completed my first 300km ride in the elapsed time of 17.5 hours.
Most of the time, we think we know what we want. And there are times, upon getting what we think we want, we discover that it's not actually what we want all along, which could be hurtful. Fortunately, it's the opposite case for this wanting to go on big rides. I discover, time and time, that this is what I want. It's what I'm drawn into, ever since the beginning.
In the gap of five years between the last post and this one, I've completed big rides. I've had adventures. Epic, exciting adventures. In the process I learned how to fix a flat. I've overcome the fear of riding alone in the dark. I learned how to listen to the signals my body emits during rides. I've met people and made friends. I led women-only rides, like how I used to dream about when I started cycling. I won races. All the while, I got to discover many beautiful places. I saw the caldera in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. A wild owl gliding into the night in Ambarawa. A shooting star while I passed through Sancang Nature Reserve. I got to high places like Dieng, Tawangmangu, Ijen. I saw million different shapes of clouds and the striking colors of the sky during sunrise and sunset. I was out riding under the scorching Flores sun. I came down from Cemorosewu around midnight when it was 4 degrees Celcius. Many times I cried tears of joy and sorrow. Once, I was attacked by a stranger. Most of the time, I received help from strangers. Not to mention many other mundane, beautiful moments I got to experience while I was on the saddle.
It's hard to look back at that and not feel immense gratitude.
At the end of every big important ride, V is always keen to remind me that it's not the size of the ride that matters. She told me she's proud of me doing all this but she's not interested in numbers. It doesn't matter to her whether I win or lose. "It's how much these experiences transform you into a better person as a whole, not just as a cyclist," she said to me.
How much I hope that it's true.
And I guess that's what I'd like to let out for now.
