Uuuu many impacts. 😂😂 Wind and MTB don't forgive😅❤
Love your spirit as always!
There’s a typo in the thumbnail 🤫
Thank you for the video! When it's not possible to travel, at least I can enjoy watching your adventures.👍
If you had a dropper post it would be easier 😊
Those kinds of hand injuries are very annoying as they heal. You may consider wearing gloves, especially while riding gravel, even if it feels weird. Gloves will protect your hands and even the way you fall to the ground. Keep up the good work! 🚴♂️ 🤙🏼
Tough as nails Sherry ! 😅
What is the jacket you are wearing?
Sometimes I think the hardest part about learning to mountain bike is less about skill and more about confidence and comfort to commit without hesitation and second guessing. Really you need both skill and confidence, but the confidence is harder to learn when you start later. Mountain bikers who learn as children before they learn fear of mortality make it look easy!
Looks great, good luck at the Atlas. It is an amazing event!
Warrior ✊🏻. For MTB, a dropper post is more of a game changer than you'd imagine. Plus wider bars make a big difference. And finally, I ride daily and never go without gloves, knee and elbow pads. Even if you don't come off, they give you confidence, which is key. Hope you stick with it ✌🏻

Those balance exercises are so good, I coach kids on mtb and these skills are especially applicable to gravel riding too. Sorry to see you get scraped up; always wear gloves, whether road, gravel or mtb! Love your passion , Sherry!
Excellent video awesome music my family makes me wear elbow and knee pads no matter what type of riding I do. They work 😀
Ouch! Heal up quickly

Very cheeky episode! 😀 Looking forward to more of your videos in 2025, Sherry. Ride safe
Great vid. A very spectacular scenery and that make a fun adventure 🇦🇺
12:20 wee pedal strike, pedal timing comes with practice and almost becomes second nature. You’ve taken your falls like a champ
Gosh, I love these drop bar MTB hardtails. I want one. They look awesome! What is your tire brand, model and width for this bike?
it’s wonderful place! ride safe sherry! 😊
Looks like "Monster" bikes (MTB with drop bars) start to be a thing! I have it now for 2 years and it seems that it becomes to be a popular choice out there😊
The handling of that bike looks incredibly unstable with the short stem and narrow drop bars.
Please take care of yourself, we want to see your content in the future =)
You need a better MTB teacher!
Did the German-Colombian pair ride In the footsteps of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, whose nickname is 'Le Cid' or 'the Campeador" ? He must have ridden a horse Instead of a bike. 2nd question : (at 13:42) Can oranges be picked or are they private property? If I were there, I would have been tempted to pick one of them, they seem to be delicious and there was one on the ground, it was a crime not to pick up it. Fresh oranges are gift of God. We only eat oranges which arrive by plane, train or lorry in market or in supermarket. If we could be birds, we would be able to fly up to these trees in a few hours from any place in Europe.
When you are at the top of the mountain (14:18) you are a bit like a bird and have she same overview.
Third question : Has the bike been striped ?
The mountain is red because of Ferrous soil that's why when you crash, it hurts efficiently : Iron might be in basement
Generally a drop bar bike of that kind is not the wisest choice for AMR – for nobody. Considering your technical skills – it's a really foolish decision. I would highly recommend to go for flats. Believe me. You will remember these lines.
That last climb would be my morning training if I live in the city :).
Oh my Sherry please be careful always good to see you laughing and enjoying yourself biking. You are very tough so much respect to you. I can't wait to see what you do this year. I know from my experience bike handling skills can come with some painful learning curves.
