This video is, hands down, my FAVOURITE video I've done 🥹 So much love, planning, and effort went into this video from multiple people. I would love to know what you guys think - leave a comment down below and I'll reply! This was my first time joining a cycling event and I feel so utterly inspired by everyone there 😭💛 Honestly, I was very proud of myself for conquering the 82km and 52km rides with the elevation. The 40°C heat was probably the toughest part on Saturday 🥵

[@andrewhall127]

Terrific effort - Chapeaux! Is it possible to follow your Strava?

[@Jam789]

u wear too much on 40C

[@wilsonardi]

@sherrybyw thank you so much to also included our hotel I will contact you through your IG

[@johlaysn]

Did you do the entire edit esp the cycling bit? Girl it was bomb! Love the fiery transitions and the energetic music matches the bits. More like this please.

[@niharikagupta9810]

I am so happy seeing this video! I have honestly seen Sherry start her cycling journey on YT, from the first cycling video to the fundraiser to her cycling vlogs to this now. I myself started cycling seeing her journey, so inspired by it. Congratulations on your first cycling event and race Sherry! So happy see you achieve this milestone. Inspiring me to do more, everyday.

[@codewithAyii]

Awesome video! I have always loved cycling but I never committed to it. Watching your videos makes me wanna go out, buy a bike, & make cycling apart of my lifestyle. Please keep uploading these cycling videos for us! Congrats on finishing the race!

[@aioricliponearrings]

Congratulations on completing this event! ❤❤ What an amazing feat! We're all so proud of you!

[@johlaysn]

Congrats Sherry! So proud of your goals. Hope to see more of your cycling journey and your growth with it as well. I'm inspired by your dedication both to you hobby and to your work (when did your laptop lose battery, Sunday? Lol) You've inspired me so much to make plans, create goals, and dream bigger. Because I can. Thank you

[@marknewcomb9645]

Congrats Sherry!! 5th on the 1st day and 4th on the 2nd....That says something....Go girl you are a natural cyclist! Conditions were tough not to mention hills were thrown into the mix and quality competitors. As a Specialized owner myself you have to love those bikes. Anyway Sherry well done from all the way down under here in Australia.

[@Lorenzo-oi1le]

I should have commented sooner but this content came from great perspective! You were in a different land and a great cycling experience. Great overhead shots and rider perspectives as well. I would love to ride with you and your group in Singapore… I am still blown away from when built your own bicycle…😊

[@amandaliim]

LOVED the editing and power and smiles and wins in this video so much ❤❤❤❤

[@guestuser8232]

WOW the production quality of this video is next level! It is so incredible watching your journey as a youtuber and cyclist!! 😍

[@kennleong7519]

Congratulations Sherry!!! Well done on your first race ... more to come!!! 😉

[@petersutedja8845]

yay! welcome to Indonesia. never been to Bintan myself but looks like it has a nice course! congratulations on your finish!

[@ZenGarage]

Very cool. You go girl!!! I just bought my first modern road bike, also a Speciazed Allez Sprint. I plan to start racing once I get my fitness back, so thanks for the inspiration!

[@ninokj]

Loved this video! Have been watching your videos for a while now since you got into cycling. Here in Houston TX. we have an event called the MS150. It’s a total of about 162 mile ride broken down into two days. I did my first ride in May this year and it was tough! Please keep doing these and other videos showcasing your equipment (glasses,shoes, clothes etc.)

[@fadedpages]

Cycling in hot humid weather 😵‍💫😲 y'all are superhuman. Would love to see you take more cycling trips in the future.

[@slackin80]

I was a neutral service mechanic for TdB 2022 and I need to share about transporting the bicycle there: The ferry transport damaged quite a few bikes, especially the derailleurs. One guy even had a damaged chain. Many riders wrap the frame but no cushion on the derailleurs. So either try to wrap that area up or rent a travel case. During assembly of your bike, if you are using quick release skewers, make sure the springs are facing the correct direction. A rider installed it wrong, the wheel wasn't aligned, the brakes were causing resistance for his whole time trial ride.

[@daviel1005]

Outstanding work Sherry, and a great video 👍

[@donnyng4220]

Dear Sherry, congrats and very well done. I have rode in Bintan and the hills were tough for me, so definitely well done!

[@dinaskebudayaandanpariwisa654]

Thankyouuuu! Enjoy your road and hope you feels good trip in Bintan!

[@beatrizsayuri6839]

Congrats!!! Btw, this video have amazing edit and u almost reach 100k!!!

[@nataliekeane8944]

This video was fantastic Sherry. Thanks so much for capturing the two days and giving us a glimpse into your first race!!

[@sherrybyw]

Thank you so much for watching Natalie!! Your comment means so much to me ❤

[@yuejincheong1696]

Naissss!! Congratulations! If you have a chance come check out the Tour de Langkawi next year. Especially when they climb Genting Highlands.

[@apimycc2375]

Congrats.. more cycling content. ❤🎉

[@englishteacherdon]

I enjoyed that! I remember how nervous I was the night before my first race in 1988. I slept very little. You handled it like a champ. You have a great and fun personality to be doing cycling vlogs.

[@sherrybyw]

Thanks for the support Don! Haha I share the same nervous feel the night before and morning of!

[@patrickprouty4415]

Way to go. Looks like a good time. Tips; If riding again next day eat and begin hydrating immediately at the end of your ride. Practice taking your wheels off and back on. I do it right side up some like it bike upside down. Wax the chain. Much cleaner. I found Silca works best. Lil research is required. The most important detail is a completely degreased clean chain. So worth it. Love your channel. Keep up the hard work👍

[@wenjinlee3920]

Great video! The first race will always be so memorable. Kudos to the discipline and hard work despite the busy schedule!

[@sherrybyw]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to improve and get better 💪🏼

[@ASTK974]

Welcome to Indonesia...hope you've enjoyed the climbs as much as I did. It's satisfyingly painful. 👌🚴🏼

[@okayest_amateur]

Congrats Sherry! Your bike looks way better with the deep section wheels! Glad your a cyclist who not only has a nice bike but someone who isn't afraid to race it!

[@sherrybyw]

Gotta put the bike to good use!! (so we can justify a new one soon HAHA jk) Agreed on the deeper wheels. Love them

[@powlowful]

Slowly but surely, I hear Sherry's Singaporean accent grow!

[@vincentliang7841]

Congrats n welcome to Indonesia!

[@alexmurtravel]

Congratulations 👏great vlog, I like your videos, you are the best!

[@DavidBigandt]

Wow, you did good. Yes fun video, the smile, personality and interaction with so many people. OK what cured my back pane was sleeping as much as I want. Then in two or three months, gone.

[@bonseokgyu3849]

sherrybyw you cycling love !!!

[@thomasmcnutt252]

Amazing job! Watching your cycling vlogs makes me want to drop way too money on a new specialized

[@andrew097]

Love the jerseys, that fade is class

[@alisterrox]

Great video Sherry! It was an honor and privilege to cycle with you in the same category, and take a selfie with you on the first day. Keep up the good work! P.S my noise pollution moment at 21:18 😅

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Love the positive attitude. Try getting a bike fit if you’re experiencing back pain after 60 km!

[@collinwee6530]

Well done Sherry! Great vid

[@sherrybyw]

Thank you Collin!!

[@tifffhung]

Next level cinematography 😮😮

[@jpaiteipunkmetal]

Keep smashing it mate 👍

[@TechwithLucy]

The video intro is so cool!!!

[@kenooi1439]

Nice to meet you on the road sherry! Keep up the good work.

[@sherrybyw]

Thanks so much for saying hi - what a great start to the morning! Hope you had a great long ride. Sending my regards to you and the missus :)

[@bentan6218]

Congratulations 🎊 on your 1st race and getting such good results. I might have overlooked, it look like you do not have a bike computer. If you do not have one, you might want to invest in one plus a HR and cadence monitor or even a power meter. Thanks again for the great video.

[@boneyjohnchennattu2262]

Congratulations 🎉

[@Batmobile444]

Nice. I saw you at the finishing line on Saturday. #girlpower

[@malaysiadentist4637]

Looking forward to seeing you ride in Malaysia!

[@waia0123]

Congrats on your ride. Come to NYC and do the 5 Boro Bike Tour.

[@mariodecarprios1847]

Great spirit. Elevation in bintan is tough on high temp weather. Sentosa loops can help🤭

[@VoodooEx]

Congratulation on the completion! May want to get a bike fit for the pain. Getting pain on a 82km ride is not ideal. :)

[@hanglekiu295]

Thanks for sharing TdB..🙏

[@boosttee]

MOAR Cycling Videos!!

[@malaysiadentist4637]

Fantastic!

[@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504]

Congrats to your finish! Shall share this with Jenni and Clara whom you have captured them discussing with their team manager in your clip. :)

[@sherrybyw]

Yes!! They absolutely smashed it!

[@chenmunhong]

Amazing! What backpack did you use for travelling to Binta?

[@eseetoh]

I Wish You & Your Loved Ones a HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR OF THE RABBIT!!! May A New Year Bring Renewed Strength to Overcome our troubles!!! May this New Year Bring Peace, Calm & Health to Both Body & Mind; for whatever problems or difficulties we may still be facing, or yet to come!!! May our New Year Bring Love, Compassion, Kindness & Wisdom to Ourselves & Others, as we Face this Future Together!!! With Loving-Kindness to All!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@EL-wm5wl]

Haha... Just saw you cameo for a split second on Chris Froome's vlog on the TdF Singapore crit.

[@sherrybyw]

[@palaniappankannappan1112]

how much have you spent on your bike so far?

[@zbbssdjsjjs3833]

自从你离开香港之后就没有怎么看过你的影片了，因为我听不懂英文，今天发现有自动翻译，哈哈😃😃

[@00FG00]

do you ever plan to get a folding bike?

[@okayest_amateur]

But to be honest your carbon bike frame is still faster and lighter!

[@FernandoSanchez-gr1jw]

Wow it’s been 10 months since you posted anything about cycling, any new rides or challenges?

[@Roger-ki7js]

First

[@sherrybyw]

FIRSTTTT!!

[@socioecohistorywordpress5268]

Try some rowing exercise to strengthen your back. That's how I resolve my back problems. Just 5 mins 2-3 times a week in the Gym Rowing machine will do. Very effective. 👍👍👍👍💚💚🧡🧡

[@lukewalker1051]

Congrats on your race. Can you comment on how many of the 60 or 70 y.o. men and woman beat your time? Curious if any uber fit seniors were faster than you? You are a lovely lady.

[@alinleonard9544]

I just found this girl searching carbon bikes on YT, is such a fucking(in a good sense) cool girl, :)

[@xanx3]

3rd 😂

[@diegoeleazar9154]

Curious if you have a group or club?

[@BlackyBrownDestruction9337]

Waxing the chains is better than oil so you don’t stain your clothes and your car

[@shadowspirit5356]

I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH KEEP IT UP MICHAEL FROM MAURITIUS❤

[@christophersorey8243]

Who is actually going to win?

[@fib6156]

Did you stop your KZbin channel just before getting 100K subscribers?

[@MaQuGo119]

Nice accent

[@redalabdaoui9375]

Hi Sherry, are you open for brand sponsorships?

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

There was more cuts on this video than at a deli meat shop, could not watch this for more than 20 seconds.

[@fib6156]

No Michael Jackson socks?;)

[@sherrybyw]

Not this time 😂

[@mthai00]

nice job! I also used to suffer from lower back pain when cycling. Check out myvelofit if you get a chance, it's an AI bikefit program that lets you dial in your setup from home on a stationary trainer. Would be interesting to see how it compares to the bikefit you got previously.
