Lost Dot 101 // PAIRS

Congratulations to our winning pair: Johanna Drolshagen (146a) and Jonne Van Bommel (146b).

5 days, 22 hours, 21 minutes

Johanna and Jonne finished on the afternoon of the finishers’ party, well within the General Classification cut-off and with plenty of time left in the day to celebrate. Starting out as cycling buddies, the Lost Dot 101 was their first ultra-cycling race as a pair. Jonne had previously raced the 2023 Atlas Mountain Race, but after scratching there, the Lost Dot 101 marks both her and Johanna’s first self-supported race finish.

Both riders struggled with early morning starts, something that was evident when we caught up with them on their penultimate day before their first coffee, quickly becoming the main topic of conversation. By the finish, their friendship had only grown stronger, and they were already talking about future riding plans together. Jonne has her eyes on next year’s Transcontinental Race, while Johanna says maybe not next year, but perhaps one day.

Race Reporter Sophie asked them for any sage wisdom learned from their ride:

“If you keep pedaling, you will arrive. Whenever — but you will arrive.”

Congratulations, Johanna and Jonne! We hope to see you again.

Lost dot 101 // FINISHERS’ PARTY

Possibly the most memorable — and most fun — way to finish a race: directly onto the dance floor.

In the hours leading up to the finisher's party, riders continued to arrive into Córdoba, greeted by an ever-growing crowd of 101 supporters. The vibe was warm, energetic, and welcoming as journeys ended and recovery and reflection began.

Lost Dot 101 // Lanterne Rouge

Caroline Klein (059) rolled in after 8 days, 19 hours, and 14 minutes on the road. Riding through the relentless rain at the start, and finding her own way across the same mandatory controls as everyone else, Caroline had to manage more days on the go, continuing to find motivation beyond looming cut-off times and the promise of a party.

Her finish marks the end of the inaugural edition of the Lost Dot 101; the first all-FLINTA unsupported ultra-cycling race. Pleased to have ridden the entire route and achieve a race finish, Caroline was a happy camper when she arrived in Córdoba. With hopes to one day finish with GC honours, we sincerely hope to see her back on another start line and finish line in the future.

Congratulations, Caroline!

Congratulations to the Lost Dot 101 Maglia Nera: Emma Young (023)

The Maglia Nera is awarded to the final rider to finish within the General Classification cut-off, marking the official end of the race-time clock.

Congratulations to all of the Lost Dot 101 riders who finished throughout the day and into the finishers’ party last night. Greeted by huge cheers and a warm welcome to Córdoba, riders completed journeys that began just six days earlier on a rainy afternoon in Santiago de Compostela.

Together, we celebrated the finish of the first all-FLINTA Lost Dot race — the power of representation, solidarity, and what unsupported long-distance cycling can feel like when you’re surrounded by people like you.

Day 6 Race Report // Graduation Day

The inaugural Lost Dot 101 came to a close in Córdoba after six unforgettable days on the road.

“With the last brevet cards stamped, what remained at the finish line was more than exhaustion or relief. There was a palpable sense that something meaningful had just taken place over the previous six days — not just an odyssey across the Iberian Peninsula, but the creation of a space in which FLINTA riders could see one another fully, compete openly, and experience ultra-distance racing in an environment intentionally built with them in mind.”

From emotional finish line arrivals and midnight celebrations to reflections on racing in a FLINTA field, the final day sums up what the Lost Dot 101 has meant to its riders.
