Participants prepare their bikes before venturing out on the 320-kilometer Kompas Bike Jateng Gayeng event from Hotel Santika, Purwokerto city, Central Java, Thursday (9/3). The event, which was jointly held by Kompas and Bank Jateng, attracted 120 participants. They cycled the Purwokerto-Wonosobo route finishing in Semarang from March 10 to 12.

Looking out from the slope of Sindoro, the eyes and soul are calmed by the sight of an overlay of pine forest, paddy fields and tobacco plantation between the curves of the hills. Though vehicles going back and forth can be seen in the central lane of Central Java, from afar, no noise can be heard. Between Mount Sindoro and Mount Sumbing, time seems to slow down, signaling the time for us to rest for a moment.

Denis Wahyudi, 21, parked his automatic motorbike, took off his helmet and got off his motorbike. After stretching his body, he and two of his friends quickly ordered a cup of tea, coffee and tempe kemul in a small shop in the Posong Natural Resort complex. After a short wait, his order was placed on a wooden table.
