Congratulations! 3 days is amazing. I'm 53 and did it in 10 days on my own tempo and outside of the race last May. Can't even comprehend how it's done in three days... Groetjes uit Amsterdam!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Great Adventure😁 Sherry is a bad ass! Like some kind of cycling ninja🥷

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Congratulations to you and everyone else that crossed the start line. Many years ago Sherry when I was a little boy on tv there was a cartoon character called The Mighty Atom and they had magic powers to do anything they wanted to do. I think you must be related because its amazing the difficult races you do. Keep doing them Sherry and you will never get old.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thanks 👍

[@TheNWaite]

Congrats on an OUTSTANDING effort . To just finish Badlands is an achievement. To do it under 72 hours is simply brillaint . Now put “ El Piri “ (Northern Spain) on your calendar . It makes Badlands look / feel like a walk in the park.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you🙌 I will check it out

[@richardmuck8709]

Congratulations! Your video brings back so many of my memories from 2023... especially the concrete wall Murtas up where I got heatstroke and desperately looked for shade... Passed Trevelez early moning and will never forget the last unbelievable smooth tarmac meters on the entrance to Capilera

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you very much! yes that Tarmac meters are like heaven

[@chrisweber7460]

Oh my dear: you pull a bottle of honey in cycling bottle? How can you drink this? But it was a tough race and you have finished it! Chapeau 👏

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you🙌 yes it is a flow flask design for gels, also works with honey ^^ but I should have clean the dirt 😅

[@arcoulant87]

Chapeau .

You made me laugh when your face was all bashed up and you were explaining it' is. It bad. You are a real tough cookie x

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you 🙌 ^^

[@johnpayne2465]

Bravo!!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

🙌

[@Mark8v29]

Thanks for sharing. Glad your crash was not serious. I know from experience how a crash can and still does impact my mind and body now I am cycling again after recovery. Your willingness to continue through the paid of maximum effort reminds me also to continue through my own pain and discomfort on bike rides a 10th as long and a 10th as difficult as Badlands as I cycle to regain my cycle fitness from zero one day at a time. Have you said that you have done or intend to do the Tour Divide race?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you Mark 🙏 maybe one day but Tour Divide is a very expensive project will have really planned it

[@felipeprenholato2301]

Awesome race Sherry! Loved the terrain, is much similar to what we have in Brazil, except by the desert, except (😂) that this desert roads is better than our gravel roads here hahaha. This trip using MTB should be very fun too.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you so much 🙌 yes next time i think will use a mtb

[@raquelr670]

Bravo valiente!!!! 👏👏👏💪💪💪

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

[@TheMadrac]

Gratz! Not enough that you finished a really hard race with a good time, but you made a really great video about it too. And honestly no idea how the hell do you do those all nighter rides.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :)

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Hopefully second time lucky for me, fingers crossed 2025 is my year at Badlands.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Yes 🙌🚲

[@sadeqbikes]

Near fear unlocked and now i have to learn how to do a clear bunny hop 😮

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

😂

[@yazidyusop]

Ultra effort 👍

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :)

[@TheRealMichaelB]

Wow - Such an accomplishment. The conditions looked unreal. Did not realize you were a chemist as well. Drinking honey, and 1 kg of table sugar. What sort of recipe do you use? Assuming you're making some sort of uber strong water solution ??? Thanks !!

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you! You too! depends of your tolerances I started with gels and the switch to honey normally 1/1 ratio with water on my bottles

[@esskastanie2046]

Congratulations.🎉🙏🤘🤝👏 If you go next time again, with tire widh would you choose. 40,45,50 oder 55. Thanks

[@kryossensei7618]

nice video thanks you. Do you use wet lube or wax for your transmission, and when rain all day?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you 🙏 I start with a wax chain and then then top up with Silca synergetic lube

[@1982agape]

Hi, could you please give me the web link for the orange backpacks that come with the hydration system? I think it's an excellent combination for my routes. Greetings. Congratulations!

Cómo se llama la mochila?

[@Hervé-y5h]

The sensation I prefer is when you feel you cannot push on the pedals anymore, when you cannot put any power to go on and when all is in mind. Otherwise it is too easy. Nevertheless I am a bit afraid of this situation all sensible personne has to avoid. Almost from the start I already want to finish because I know it will be long and tough. But kilometers after kilometers, thanks to a good bike; good technology, good tachometer I begin to enjoy because I know I will be sad when I will finish. Today, sunday, I rode 92 km on Mountain bike among racing bikes, wthout drink. My average speed the first hour must have been 20km/h because of the car's circulation and traffic lights. The second hour it must have been 30km/h on a circuit . The third hour : 30km/h approximately on a circuit. So that, the last 45 minutes of my ride, I only did 12km/h, because I could not drink. The water was in mybackpack but I have no time to stop and open it. I had dry throat and legs hard as wood and I knew I couldn't drink before I finished otherwise it would mean I agreed with urban stress. I had no strengh not at all but only pure energy. Compared to the Urban stress, I find the spanish desert is a cute and sweet place. By the way, when Miss Cardona crashed, the earth blessed her. In a brutal way, surely, but a real blessing. I don't wish her to craxh, off course, but that happens And I guess Gereon didn't sleep for 43hours. It isn't ultracycling but ultra awakening. On the other hand I wonder if cyclists against the clock are or not a kind of modern rabbit of the cartoon "Alice in Wonderland". Here's something might be interesting : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g57HqaaVZd6MrcU

[@peterl3463]

Sherry was BadLands or Bohemian Border Bash harder?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

I think Badlands, more up and down and more technical

[@lesvoyagesdebruno7853]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

🙌

[@FeriSetiawan32]

Good long ride 1:05

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

yes :)

[@heikogrundt1067]

Strong Women 💪🙂

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

What tire brand, model and tire did you use for Badlands?

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

You can find them in the video i made about my bike build kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXfLo4lpZ7mLm5I Tires : Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M & Schwalbe Thunder Burt

[@thomasjefferson3552]

You are beautiful. God bless.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

thank you :)

[@petrd1104]

I really wanted to do this race, but seeing how all my favourite cyclists go wasted here, I start to think it may be out of my reach. 😢 But let's see😂

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

you should, it is a great experience :)

[@MrJx4000]

It looks like your helmet saved you from a more serious injury.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

yes :)

[@jago7735]

Muy bonito el video, pero solo una recomendación, yo hablo 5 idiomas por ejemplo, si estoy hablando Alemán o Inglés, si voy a mencionar una palabra en Castellano, la pronuncio en Castellano / Español, no la pronuncio como si mi idioma materno fuese el Inglés, suena muy feo, a lo largo del video pronunciabas los pueblos españoles como si tu idioma materno fuese el Inglés, suena muy feo.

[@Buzzalong.cycling]

gracias, si se me va la cabeza en modo ingles lo pense tambien cuando estaba editando el video ^^

Not solo lah. Definitely someone filming u...😮

[@RonnyChopper-oz5jl]

repetitive vids.

[@kennycube5126]

I know. They've always got these bicycle things in them and they're always racing. When are we gonna get some agricultural machines and maybe a bit of chess?

[@StefanGrunig-fg5wc]

🤣

[@mikeyjoe]

Low IQ post. What would expect to see an edurance cyclist post in their videos? Do you follow other sports? How frustrated are you when you watch a football match or something and its basically the same as all other matches played every weekend.
