Cycling Sardinia | Ten Days. Two Friends. No Plan.

[@Ekirea]

Great filming and so inspiring, what a fantastic place to cycle at with a friend like that!

[@e5797]

Such a wholesome video! Thank you for the inspiration 🥰 Happy for your trip and a beautiful friendship.

[@dpierre]

Wow, I let myself be lulled by the rendering of the landscapes and your energy and, I must admit, Sanne's unbearable lightness and carefreeness. What talent for such an artistic achievement^^ Thank you for the richness of the shots of this memorable hike^^

[@BelleToscan]

Her presence felt very very refreshing to me too as she, indeed, is a lot of fun to be around. I appreciate your sweet comment. Thanks for the kind words!

[@chia0303]

Hi, I’m learning English, and your video with subtitles is really helpful. I especially enjoy videos about cycling and outdoor activities. Thank you so much!

[@AllureOfTheRoad]

Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@taurusthebull22]

Simply beautiful. Thank you.

[@jimthompson8812]

Wow what a beautiful video, thank you so much!

[@Balintrebeka]

Absolutely beautiful! ..friendship, adventure, scenery...

[@tommyclarke2007]

Beautiful video, beautiful story so calm and relaxing and beautiful use of the Queen’s English ❤❤❤

[@barriobikes68]

What an incredible trip including some amazing views and memories! Thank you for documenting and sharing! 👍🏾👊🏾

[@BelleToscan]

I enjoy the documenting just as I do the travel, which is very important! My greatest motivation is to have a nice video afterwards to look at to remember the essence of this trip. Thanks a lot!

[@CreativeJonathan]

What a beautiful story & friendship. Was a pleasure to watch with good inspiration & motivation to look for new adventures with friends!

[@DanielMartinez-bv8fr]

Once again another great piece footage that will make many of us envious at you.... thanks for sharing! Saridinia was already in my to do list but now it is coming up quite a few positions!

[@BelleToscan]

It really is a fantastic island because of the very varied landscapes. I really hope you get to visit there soon. =)

[@arruaroutdoors]

A show of narrative, stories, experiences and beautiful images, congratulations Belle. It's always very rewarding and inspiring to watch your bikepacking journey videos. 🚴‍♂🏕

[@EP-mn7eg]

Thanks for this! Beautifully filmed! Can’t wait for more adventures from you.

[@simonwiltshire]

Just the right ingredients to make a great adventure and video! Fabulous, thankyou.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Well done! such a authentic and beneficial time you shared, you put a lot of meaningful thought into narration and it's very attention holding.

[@tonypaddler]

That was a great happy vibes video, excellently filmed as usual. Sanne was a great 'extra' for your company 🙂👍🚲

[@BelleToscan]

She's a lot of fun! Thank you! =)

[@FINNAcollective]

You are such a master in storytelling Belen. Absolutely love to watch this.

[@BelleToscan]

Thanks for the compliment. =)

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Well done girls. You both overcome mechanical problems, deepened your friendship and at the same time made a great video. I would say that was successful on all levels. Best wishes to you both.

[@hhetup6505]

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for your effortl. Sanna really impressed

[@dooley-ch]

A lovey video, thanks for sharing.

[@clivedrummond]

Watching Sanne help direct the video from the start, it must’ve been so much fun making this video. And that camping location on your last night… does it get any better😍😍 Great team🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️😊

[@BelleToscan]

It got her a bit to get used to the camera, but I thought that made it more fun! She was also SUPER patient with all the stops and trusted my judgement on this. Luckily, with years of experience now, I have a trained eye and know what I want to film without wasting much time. And totally! The last camping spot was a massive goodbye gift. =)

[@svenjaschrade]

Such a lovely video! So beautifully shot and your words are wonderfully thoughtful :)

[@paviadivingtechshop]

Thnx so much for all the incredible vibes you spread in the World!

[@ChrisyC567]

Outstanding watch.! You 2 have collected some great memories, Bravo..!

[@BelleToscan]

I love it that now we'll have the video to look back to when remembering this trip!

[@ThomasMcFarland]

This is such a great video! What a great trip!

[@EmmasNatureEscapes]

I just discovered you today and I love this episode. Absolutely amazing and beautiful places 🙂 And the edit it's just perfect!

[@BelleToscan]

Welcome, and thank you!

[@MarkoSalmela]

Nice video about great bikepacking trip and friendship. Also realised how much I miss summer bikepacking trips in the middle of Scandinavian winter. Winter bikepacking is nice, but looses hands down when compared to bikepacking in summer ...

[@BelleToscan]

Thanks a lot! Summer is just another level. We haven't ridden in Scandinavia since 2017 and were talking about maybe returning this year. I really hope we can make it happen. I guess we will all have to wait for summer again. =)

[@francishayes6488]

beautiful film and precious times

[@MTTBIKEPACKER]

Wow what amazing trip, your story telling is on top notch. Watching from Nairobi Kenya

[@cambembenek3849]

I liked your photo compositions, well done!

[@efraimlouisegolicruz795]

it’s so wonderful!! 😍💕

[@m__r1100]

I really enjoyed that. Such a chilled adventure.

[@BelleToscan]

I've decided that chill is my vibe on the bike. Still gotta move forward, but I appreciate enjoying other things off the bike and riding at my own pace. =)

[@antoniocorigliano68]

Brava 👏🏻👏🏻Amazing video💪🏻🧡👋🏻

[@alanpage8911]

Tyre tip: after patching the tube, run your finger around the inside of the tyre to see if a thorn is still poking through. One always remembers this after the repaired tube is inflated inside the tyre.

[@kobrapelle]

Thank You, I loved it!

[@timschaefer4558]

One can buy tubes that allow for sealant to be injected into them. Sealants can easily handle those small punchers. Just try to remove the seed that caused the hole.

[@BelleToscan]

Oh really? I was planning to just go tubeless on the next one. Unless you have a dramatic cut on the tire, it seems relatively easy to fix (if the sealant doesn't do it on its own).

[@Ciclotonina]

Queeeee maravilla de video te superaste, enhorabuena mira que veos videos pero de verdad que son mis preferidos y por cierto la ruta preciosa y la compañia a un más, no me cansaré de darte las gracias de publicar estos viajes tarde de ti 1000 gracias y por cierto el track lo tienes publicado?

[@BelleToscan]

¡Oh qué guay! Muchas gracias. =) Para mi este viaje fue muy especial y lo guardo con mucho cariño. Me alegra ver que he podido transmitir (y ojalá recrear) ese mensaje a través de la narración y los momentos capturados. El track no lo tengo publicado porque fuimos improvisando mucho pero si lo quieres, envíame un email y te mando el enlace de Komoot.

[@ilyadubinsky]

Such a wonderful video! Thank u so much! Do you have any recorded route of your trip?

[@BelleToscan]

We were mostly improvising, so the route was nothing official. I do have it privately saved in Komoot, so feel free to send me an email if you want it. I can share the link over there.

[@griebler90]

Amei a viagem de vocês e a maneira que nos mostrou. Lindo filme

[@wiebkelueh]

Stop it! This is so 🥺 beautiful!

[@BelleToscan]

Ayyyy... Maybe we should give it a go one day! I can't commit to 100km rides but... I feel like we would be a good team too!

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

Your filming is amazing, i would like to bike with you, even if you're the Flat tire Queen😂😂 Vous êtes adorable !!!

[@BelleToscan]

Hahaha, thank you! I think I'm slowly getting my tires under control!

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

@BelleToscan 😄

[@dimidukes]

It's really beautiful video, very well made and great storytelling! Respect on doing that. Long dream of mine to do it as well on Sardinia. What was your route? I was also curious if shepherd's dogs are always that friendly or what were your strategy around them, or in general around animals in the wild?

[@BelleToscan]

Sardinia is a wonderful island to cycle both inland and by the coastline, though it depends on what style you like most as the coastline is very limited to trails or asphalt. I haven't published the route as it wasn't anything official, we improvised our way around. The dogs are no problem at all there. They were all friendly and just wanted to say hello, so we always stopped to greet them. As soon as they identify you as a human, it's all OK. =)

[@Rebecca-sf8ny]

hey hey, i've really enjoyed your video! this was my first time seeing someone having a ToutTerrain bike besides me :) nice

[@BelleToscan]

Oh really? This is my third year with the Outback and I just looooove that bike. It's an adventure beast! Which model do you ride?

[@pinteahaiducu6521]

Beautiful. What brand of bicycle is the one with a drive belt? Thanks.

[@BelleToscan]

Both bikes are from Tout Terrain, but the one with the belt is the Outback Xplore model with a C1.12 Pinion Gearbox. Amazing beast!

[@dreamUreal]

Nice video, joy to watch. I was interested in how many gas canisters did you carry with you?

[@BelleToscan]

We only needed one for the 10 days (I think it's the 230gr one)! We cooked only at dinner time and made coffee in the mornings some days.

[@andyjsmallwood]

Hi Belle. Thanks for a wonderful video. Have you put the route on Komoot as with yours and Tristan's other videos?

[@BelleToscan]

Hello! This one I kept private since we mostly wandered around the island and followed no set route. Nevertheless, Tristan will be sharing the revised version of the TranSardinia next week on bikepacking.com! Totally worth checking that one out. If you want ours, send me an email and I'll be happy to forward it to you privately.

[@RomanoCortesJorge]

I share the same anxieties about bikepacking with someone else. Thanks for giving voice to that.

[@BelleToscan]

Honestly, you never know if you'll be a good match! And for me, the speed thing is so crucial. I want to cycle at a pace I enjoy and don't want to feel like a drag to other people who might want to go faster. But if you find someone who's similarly fast or doesn't mind waiting, then it's great!

[@NdoliRanman]

Not the distance to cover😅..but the freedom..thanks for the wise advice- sometimes I also want to enjoy the freedom on my way, to pause and enjoy the scenery and innermost harmony 😊- finally I’ve met something unique within us - keep the good spirit, I’m also working on my Bikepacking adventures, you’re so inspiring- stay blessed

[@BelleToscan]

I mean... Distance is important if you are in a tight situation (like running out of food or water, or being chased by a storm). But otherwise... I'd rather travel without the pressure of having to hit a goal! That's why a really enjoy bringing a tent with me since, if we don't reach a town, you can just stop and call it a day wherever you are. Wishing you love bike adventures ahead!

[@NdoliRanman]

@ wow 🤩

[@NdoliRanman]

Wishing you the best always - waiting for another documentary from you 🙏🏽

[@Kiri_Bike]

I was working in Sardegna (Orosei) for few months in summer time, we were using bike to get to the work. I am cycling about 10 years, but I get more than 50% of my flat tires in Sardegna in only 2-3 months :D Literally was repairing flat tire every second day :D BTW Enjoyed video, nice country, nice footage!

[@BelleToscan]

No way! Funny thing is that Sanne had absolutely no flat and she was rolling on thinner, smoother tires. I guess I just got unlucky and went over the wrong bush. Loved the ice cream at Orosei!

[@miekevernede5266]

What bikes do you have? Brand and model 😀

[@BelleToscan]

Both are from Tout Terrain. Sanne was using the Vasco and I was using the Outback, both great bikes!

[@elcleanero5623]

7:41 What ist that?

[@BelleToscan]

It’s snake skin! When they grow, they shed out of their old skin.

[@pazskocdopolova]

Lovely vid 😀

[@BelleToscan]

Thanks a lot! I really enjoy sharing the story behind special trips.

[@RonnyChopper-oz5jl]

we instantly clicked, ooohhhh my good is this sweet! fantastic! please tell us more about your life! HTFU

[@losvideosdevito]

Que buen viaje, buen video y que hermosa tu compañera, super positiva y de buen humor que hace mas facil el viaje. saludos desde argentina

[@BelleToscan]

¡Totalmente! Su actitud es siempre así, pero para un viaje en bicicleta que además quiero capturar en la cámara, ¡eso si que no te lo puede dar todo el mundo! Sanne tuvo mucha paciencia conmigo y la verdad que era muy natural todo el rato pese a tener la cámara delante. ¡Su risa es muy contagiosa!

[@shephherd]

Nice !

[@hotzeplotz83]

It what month was this?

[@BelleToscan]

Mid October. Fantastic weather, barely no people.

[@grahamambridge2856]

Fantastic trip. What month was this pls? U.k

[@BelleToscan]

We were there mid October. It was interesting to see how the weather changed as the first 5 days were super hot and sunny, and all of a sudden, fall arrived. Really enjoyed both sides of the island. =)

[@grahamambridge2856]

@BelleToscan fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to reply.....i'll add it to my list of countries!

[@keefbrown]

If you slimed your inner tubes they would self seal. no more punctures!

[@jollyrangers7029]

I love the flowy shirt 👕 who makes it? cuz I want one!!

[@BelleToscan]

Bought it in Zara almost a decade ago! I really really love them. Made the good choice of buying it in 3 different colours and it's now my travel "uniform". Perfect for the bike. I wish I could get more. =)

[@lesconnally9428]

Exquisite storytelling

[@BelleToscan]

That's very kind of you. Thank you!

[@SB_Trips]

❤

[@abediewild6449]

where is he?

[@BelleToscan]

Tristan, you mean? He was riding solo somewhere else in the island!

[@tristanbogaard]

I’m right here

[@diegofacondini3313]

😍🥰

[@psalcedo]

Siempre hay que comprobar el neumático por dentro y por fuera que no tenga más pinchos clavados, y la cámara que no tenga más pinchazos además del que reparamos 🤪

[@BelleToscan]

Ya lo he aprendido después de quitar el primer pincho, poner la cámara y tener que volver a a parar a los 5km! Total, que quité unos 20 al final! Lección totalmente aprendida, jajaja.
