Bentang Jawa @bentangjawa is a single-stage, self-supported race in Java Island, Indonesia. The island is the centre of government, economy, culture and education for Indonesia, hosting two of Indonesia’s largest cities: Jakarta and Yogyakarta. The route, which traces the southern coast covering 1,500 km and +16000m of climbing, uncovers the rural side of this bustling island with its own unique culture, food and nature. A new film, "Prasetya: Stories From Bentang Jawa 2022", has just been released, documenting this year's edition. "Bentang Jawa was created to share the beauty and joy of unsupported cycling, and this film, Prasetya – Stories from Bentang Jawa 2022, beautifully captured the struggle, emotion, and the spirit of cycling adventure. More than telling the stories of Bentang Jawa riders, this film hopes to inspire its audience to ride and find their own adventure. The diverse volcanic contour of the island means the riders alternate between windy coast, rolling hills and tall mountains, alternated by lush tropical forest and local farming fields that span across the blue horizon. The scorching heat and relentless rain came and went, dictating the pace of the race." Tap the link in our bio to watch the film. 📸 @we.inframe #ultradistance #bikepackinglife #bikepacking
