Bikepacking the TranSardinia, part I

[@tristanbogaard]

Who else thinks Sam is the best bikepacking-chef out there!?

[@tribalwarlord]

🖐

[@tvd9015]

He is an excellent cook for sure. I am looking forward to the recipes😊

[@amc3283]

I would like to have the risotto recipe :)

[@jengreatrex7384]

Another marvellously filmed adventure. Hope the bike problem gets resolved.

[@tristanbogaard]

That’s for the second episode! I’m glad you liked this one.

[@ruben8786]

Great shots and fantastic editing & use of music as always! Also great catch at 24:39

[@tristanbogaard]

That was such a lucky shot 😉 Thanks for enjoying my videos!!

[@dermotblackweir1971]

Another lovely video Tristan. It looks like you had a lot of fun in Sardinia, I'm looking forward to part two.

[@tristanbogaard]

Glad you enjoyed it, Dermot!

Wow really nice video ! The content is relevent and what to say about the quality of the shots ! Sharp, stable like a full frame and beautiful color grading !

[@IMPROVisedExplosives]

you guys need to bring a cutting board. the sound of that knife on the Ti pan made my skin crawl

[@tristanbogaard]

Yeah… don’t think I’ll bring a plate or cutting board at all anymore. Knife in the hand has worked well for years, feels like the best option to me.

[@marshallb6599]

Wow! Where to begin. Firstly the production value is fantastic; all of your videos are all beautifully shot and edited and this is no exception. Second is the food! - Italy has become my 'again' favourite country to eat in and Sam's cooking showcased that. Above all else this bike packing video highlights that simple really is beautiful - cycling through nature with friends enjoying the ride. Just perfect.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and compliments! Really appreciate it. I hope you can have a similar gastronomical experience when you come to Italy, because it adds so much to the journey.

[@carminelancellotti5903]

Complimenti a tutti! Bravissimi

[@Caliban1616]

Looks like such a fun trip - - beautiful scenery, great company, that's what cycling tours are all about. I like how you guys soak it all up and stop to enjoy food and coffee. Mechanical issues are part of the trip and always make for interesting stories later on :)

[@tristanbogaard]

Definitely. We loved this trip dearly and would recommend other adventurous bikepackers to follow our GPX track!

[@pimlindahl453]

When my wife and I did a longer trip and decided to do your kind of cooking, a couple years back. The first thing we bought was a BIG pan (With foldable handle) a big (thin) plastic chopping board and a thin bladed, long (but light) chefs knife. All this chopping with thick short knifes and cooking in small pots was not for us. :-) Very nice videos. Nice to be travelling with you guys!

[@tristanbogaard]

That must’ve resulted in some delicious recipes..! We’re happy using our plates as cutting boards, and the pans are actually pretty ok for two people! Excited to have you watching along for the next developments.

[@VerenaArtinger]

Love your books and videos!!!!

[@malwoanders]

Very relaxing!

[@tristanbogaard]

All 35 minutes of it! And more coming next week :)

[@OnMyWayToTheMoon]

That mantis shot was so cool! :)

[@davidniederkofler]

Veeery nice, Tristan!!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, David! One day soon you’ll also be in a video ;)

[@ruben8786]

Danke!

[@eliasfezeu1354]

Wooh, what a good job...Jeep it on !!!

[@eliasfezeu1354]

"Keep... "

[@mangoryder7139]

I did a similar ride and started in Pittulongu then went to Cannigione then t did rides around that northeastern Sardinia portion and then did another loop ride from Cannigione to Maddalena and Caprera. After that I headed to Tempio Pausanias into the mountains then made my way to Castelsardo then to Sassari and finally to Laghero. So I guess I did a trans Sardinia ride

[@F4R79]

Try to upgrade to Rohloff and belt drive, maybe less problems. Thanks for the great video 👏

[@tristanbogaard]

I agree! We’re in the process of something to take care of that :)

[@Karamintheworld]

5 pizzas for 4 people. my kind of people! Squad goals ;)

[@tristanbogaard]

Love that you caught that detail!

[@fabiograzia7660]

Hi! Great video! At 7:03 the sign on the fountain says "no drinking water"😅

[@tristanbogaard]

Uy! Glad we’re still alive 😉

[@jvanneste]

We almost thought we wouldn’t hear any cowbells in this episode. 😆

[@tristanbogaard]

Haha. Yeah, we were astounded when we didn’t hear any bells one early morning! Didn’t last long though…

[@ValerioPompilioPhoto]

Hi Tristan!! thank for your nice videos! May I ask something technical? At the minute 22:31 you are rolling a bag, with a valve, which bag it is?? thank you a lot!

[@tristanbogaard]

Hey Valerio! It’s a dry bag from Ortlieb, and the valve is a must on these bags. So easy to push the air out and store something compressed.

[@ValerioPompilioPhoto]

@@tristanbogaard thank you very much Tristan!I will continue to follow you for your slow and nice tips!and also because you have been in Abruzzo, my land!😁

[@SebastianHenne]

Amazing Video!!! Quick question, what pod holder you are using for the Vargo? The look pretty handy!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, Sebastian! If I understand your question correctly, you're referring to the little sticks on the Vargo? Those I made myself, they're just two spokes that I bent in the same way to hold the pots in place :)

[@daver4413]

Thanks, Tristan - beautiful as always - capturing the scenery and the way you take us right into your life on the road. I watch with a small dose of envy of stuff I can't do at this stage of life, and a large dose of peace & pleasure as I almost join you. Question: How would compare Corsica v Sardinia (apart from the weather :) ) for a mix of beaches (for Mrs R!) and day rides into the mountains?

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, Dave. You should 100% go to Sardinia, as not only the weather, but the Italian culture, amount of beaches and general atmosphere is much more suitable for your personal desires as well as those of Mrs R! The train system on Sardinia is also a huge plus, for some extra exploration.

[@alexburk7914]

I am looking to cycle a similar route as you next May and am wondering how you chose where to camp? From my understanding it is illegal to random-camp in Sardinia -- did you have any issues? Thank you so much for your advice!

[@tristanbogaard]

Hi! It's illegal in so many places for good reason. We always feel like the exception to the rule and therefore wild camp carefully, out of view and not in the obvious spots. We pitch up late and pitch down early and don't leave anything behind. If you follow these steps and aren't cycling in high season, all should be fine.

[@FonGomez]

Just subscribed. Dude, what the actual fuck? I'm having a hard time taking in so much beauty! Also, the amount of work you've put in every single shot is deeply appreciated. - A fellow bikepacker, filmmaker and vegan /AR activist from Mexico City sending you his very best.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thank you! Glad to hear you’re enjoying our work. Sending my best back to Mexico City, would love through the country one day…!

[@FonGomez]

@@tristanbogaard Hit me up whenever!

[@PMcKay00]

Mont Moondance tent..? Interesting to see an Australian tent.

[@tristanbogaard]

Definitely! Becky is from there, and they're currently cycling New Zealand.

[@Arthalot]

when the guy at he pizza shop noticed the camera 🤣

[@tribalwarlord]

In the company of four, you both looked more lively

[@tristanbogaard]

It was definitely a less serious journey!

[@tvd9015]

First comment yay 😊 it’s gonna be another good video 👍

[@tristanbogaard]

You know it, Tom! Hope you thoroughly enjoyed the thirty minute relaxing session!

[@willy5467]

[@tristanbogaard]

That’s how I like my americano ;)
