Oompa Loompa Cycling

Sherry embarked on her cycling journey just three years ago, and in that short span, she has achieved remarkable feats that have left the cycling community in awe. Not only is she an accomplished cyclist, but she’s a trailblazer, breaking barriers and setting records. Sherry made history as the first woman to race around the Netherlands, demonstrating her tenacity and skill in navigating challenging terrains. Together with her cycling partner, Gereon, she clinched the title of the first pair to conquer the transcontinental race, showcasing the power of teamwork in the world of endurance cycling. But that’s not all—Sherry emerged as the triumphant winner in the Bohemian Border Bash, becoming the first woman to conquer this demanding race. And as if that wasn’t enough, this year, she took on the audacious challenge of Paris-Brest-Paris (Audax), further solidifying her place among the elite in the ultra-cycling realm.
