Bikepacking the Bishkek Spectacular in Kyrgyzstan

[@tristanbogaard]

Would you come to Kyrgyzstan to ride this loop? Enjoy the video!

[@nyc2024man]

Every shot is gorgeous.

[@pb8484]

Fun riding along

[@ridinsolo3352]

Picture quality is very good!! Looks almost like a movie👌🏼

[@tristanbogaard]

I gotta work a little harder on the storyline for the next ones, but I’m happy with how this turned out. Thanks for your kind words!

[@ГригорийГанжа-п9з]

I am glad to see you again! I really like your movies! Beautiful landscapes…great operator’s work! Wish you good luck!

[@RodConlon]

Love what you guys do and the scenery is just spectacular. Sorry you got sick Tristan. Trust it didn't last too long.

[@wackygochoco2009]

If you have time, pick up a Squeeze model from Sawyer. That one you have is notorious for clogging up. Make sure to keep the filter from freezing. If you break a bag, most soda bottles with work with the Sawyer filters as a back up you can source locally.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks so much for that advice! I’ll be sure to use it if I run into any trouble.

[@CanadianSledDog]

Loved it. Looks like perfect bike country. Shame you got sick during your ride.

[@TkNeo1]

The vistas are so raw and so incredible.

Spectacular Landscape ❤ i wish mountains of ladakh had this kind of velvety grass layer.

[@loicfranchi9673]

Great video! Thank you for all your content about Kyrgistan ! 😊

[@tristanbogaard]

Our pleasure! Much went into filming this so I’m really glad the video is doing ok and people like you are here to support it 🫶🏻

[@lucamagnanensi]

Amazing! My dream trip

[@Aqua.man045]

Landscape looks great comrade.

[@colmclaurin9452]

Another magnificent video Tristan, i thought you must have scored perfect weather, but the scenery is really stunning mate. Sorry to hear that your crook again, probably your tummy hasn't yet got all enzymes needed to battle all the local wogs, Belen may have a stronger constitution than you Tristan, she's a pretty tough little lady and seems to be able to handle the rough stuff pretty well, seeing her pushing her wheels up some pretty steep hills that would knock me around I reckon. Get better soon mate. All the best Col.

[@johnnypremke4002]

Super great Loop, did it last year alone and enyoyed it pretty well. Nice calm video, don't stop to Produce such nice Vibes!

[@paolosantiago3163]

Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬🇰🇬 is truly one of the hidden gem destinations in Asia and safe to say in the world.

[@IliaBlend]

thanks! the video is great!

[@albert85b]

Another amazing video! Worst luck getting food poisoning the week before SRMR. Good luck on the ride. I’ll be following the dots.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks Albert! I’m fine now, luckily, and hope that it was a one time only scenario. Nevertheless, I’ll carry much of my own food to avoid getting sick again!

[@rochittalera]

Always love to see you both doing biking, camping and cooking . Hope to see more content like this in upcoming videos . Love from India.

[@tristanbogaard]

More to come! And thanks!

[@danielholman7225]

First time I’ve seen you guys. Wow, what a beautiful tour thru the mountains. Really like the mellow piano music sound track. That went well with the scenery. Wish I was there but my bicycle touring will have to be confined to the States. Om!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thank you for your kind words, Daniel! Kyrgyzstan is a beauty, but a tough one. Luckily the US has some more ‘comfort’ infrastructure in between the hard riding. Wishing you nice trails out there!

[@Mariancerveraruiz-ls9zn]

Like very much your videos. Bring me lots of inspiration. Keep doing please😊

[@bikepackingkyrgyzstan]

Such a nice video. Some of the roads are nearly my weekend ride routes.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks Malik! Really enjoyed these backroads south of Bishkek.

[@erifyllhkaravia8273]

I wonder why you had digestive problems,do you eat fresh vegetables? Boil it,peel it or leave it . Another great video from you,thanks for sharing. Love from Greece.

[@erifyllhkaravia8273]

Electrolytes is a must when you visit diarrhea friendly countries😂

[@tristanbogaard]

Believe it or not, a fried egg probably did it. Skipping those in the SRMR! Also got some electrolyte pills and hardcore Russian anti-toxin stuff to avoid this next time :)

[@veloatlas]

Thanks for the video 😊 My home country❤ Wanted to ask you, how big is the chain rind in front?

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks! The sprockets are 30 in the front and 30 in the back!

[@ucanskixc568]

Trust you are healthy again? Once again I enjoyed your video. Well done.

[@tristanbogaard]

All good again. I hope that this was the only time, so it doesn’t happen on SRMR!

[@murat4382]

👍👍👍

[@Bikepacking]

It good you got the cnoc bag as i was about to say the mini sayer one is rubbish hard to fill in a stream the cnoc much better

[@tristanbogaard]

Right, so happy we met Louise! Although now, I’ve been gifted a Katadyn filter which should be even faster and smaller to pack. So many choices in filter land…

[@Bikepacking]

@@tristanbogaard yeah i got rid of my mini saywer few years ago and switched to the befree 3 litre gravilty feed by kadadyn there amazing so fast you can drink out off it

[@kaylaquaqualezzi711]

No videos on traveling in South America😲...

[@monanddom5933]

My motherland!😢

[@nikolaytel]

Tristan, how do you film? do you leave your camera, film, and then return to collect the camera? In some scenes, it looks like you need to return a lot, including uphill.

[@tristanbogaard]

Hey Nicolay. Yes, I film everything like you suggest. Truth is, I’m used to it and don’t mind it every now and then! I will utilize the same tactic at SRMR with fast execution.

[@Foti5]

guys !! where can i buy GAS camping in bishkek shop ?

[@tristanbogaard]

Hoping you’ve already found solutions? Try some bike shops, like Gerger. They may be able to point you in the right direction!

[@szymonkauzny6957]

Is a kagety pass in the movie?

[@tristanbogaard]

Yes!

[@szymonkauzny6957]

@@tristanbogaard so, you did it on day two - haven't you have any issues with attitude sickness?

[@mitkomitkov7616]

Enjoy guys every moment. Until death comes upon all us

[@tristanbogaard]

By landslide or otherwise
