Bikepacking the TransBaleares: Ibiza

[@tristanbogaard]

So do you split your Oreos or do you just eat them whole? Enjoy the video!

[@ellendonnelly5394]

Thankyou for filming! 👌☕☕

Hi Tristan, we are 3 girls, we followed this 5 days trip of ibiza, thank you so much for sharing your tracks, it's been amazing, very tiring but all of the sweat was the way to gain unbelievable naturals views, experiences and feelings. We didn't expect the 3rd day to be that taught, we' ve been pushing our bicicles for 3 hours, and almost the same for the 4th day. We just finished yesterday and I suggest for who wants to do it without being trained as Tristan, to find an alternative way for the 3rd and the 4th day because is mainly a foot path, and with bikes (and bags) is very hard. Thank you guys! It's been unbelievable.. And we made it!!! 💜

[@tristanbogaard]

Lovely news to read, well done on completing the track! The route does get really tough in places, for the sole purpose of staying away from car roads and getting you to distant, pretty places. I guess the effort is the payment for what you see. Thank you for your suggestion, and for sharing your story with me. Enjoy resting up!

That airplane shot though!! 🔥🔥

[@tristanbogaard]

Right!?

[@patoladecaranguejo]

I’m too late!!! Everybody below has written exactly what I wanted to write😂. But guys, of all the videos of every subject you can think of which I’ve seen over the years, this is surely the BEST. Thanks!

[@MrJx4000]

Wow, what a beautiful tour. I soon realized that every minute on that island is very precious. I could never leave. And as for eating Oreo cookies, I split them, then peel off the sugary filling and discard it. I prefer the biscuits only ;-)

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, William! Yeah, we just went from scenic point to scenic point! As a Dutch person, this tour changed my opinion about Ibiza. As for the Oreos, savage.

[@Andrew-Andre]

Thanks for another great video! Beautifully filmed!

[@BicinViaggio]

You guys are awesome, a wonderful couple so fun to follow. Thanks for always posting quality videos with a great soul and vibe. Bravi!

[@JaqueParisien]

Glad to see you back on the road again. Always an immense pleasure to watch your videos.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, Jaque. Three more islands coming up, excited for you to see them.

[@peruvian05152]

I would love to learn more about your meals - planning, recipes, what coffee you drink, etc. Maybe a video (or series)?

[@tristanbogaard]

I’m hoping to create an in-depth video on that this year!

[@Onroulelaboule]

Just great ! On our liuste ! Thank you for sharing this very nice ride.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, and you’re welcome! Don’t forget that the low season is a 10x better time to ride these islands.

[@Onroulelaboule]

@@tristanbogaard Yes ! We were in Lagos in Algarve in February and March and it was the same. Best time to go. What is the brand of your soaking bag for your oats? Thanks

[@Arthalot]

that guy doing the robot in the beginning 🤣 also, this was great! thanks for adding more to my to-bike list!

[@tristanbogaard]

Glad you noticed! So funny to see what people do around our intros :)

[@Bike-Matter]

Great bikes, great video, great places . You are the best on YT for bike tours and explorations (on fascinating and never dull itineraries). I would like to suggest you the "Ciclovia dei parchi" in Calabria for future destinations (a route of 545 km that crosses 4 beautiful and unspoiled national parks in southern Italy). Thanks for your excellent work.

[@tristanbogaard]

Thank you! This sounds incredible. I’m noting it on our list, might ride it solo some time. Excited to show you more of the coming video content!

[@billwelsh7489]

Very well done video! You both make touring look fantastic. Kudos!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks Bill! Next one coming tomorrow 👍🏼

[@paweljonca-art]

15:40 that was so sweet 😊

[@eivissastef]

been to Ibiza, went to LIDL and missed all the great restaurants Ibiza has.

[@tristanbogaard]

Gotta budget these trips, unfortunately. When I'm 55 I'll go back for the restaurants ;)

[@alextur6426]

Hey! Very nice video!, I'm from Ibiza and I did the loop to Ibiza by walking and I made a video too, but in spanish. I have also done the loop to Menorca by bikepacking, and Formentera by bike and walking too. I will try to do the loop to Mallorca by bikepacking next month and I will share it in a video on my channel. Waiting for your TransBaleares challenge! Good luck!

[@ORTLIEBwaterproof]

great video! 😍

[@tristanbogaard]

And look at that Seat-Pack!! ☺️

[@nomadmartin]

Nice Vid Tristan! Big hug!

[@benazeddine5255]

Thx for a very beautiful video. I sailed these waters with my 48 footer sailing yacht "SY SANNE II" in the 80 ´s. It does bring back wonderful memories from Ibiza. Actually I took up biking 5 years ago. Last sommer I did Bornholm round and the year before I did Jutland round trip, starting from Ebeltoft, Denmark. Gear: Koga World Traveller bike + Ziflex Trailer and Ortlieb bags front and back. I usually travel with 62 kg gear and I am 78 years young. The tour this year goes to Skagen and Sweden. What video gear are you using?

[@tristanbogaard]

Such great trips, and what a way to do them! My camera gear is simple; Olympus E-M5 mark III with a 12-40mm F2.8 M.Zuiko Pro lens. For video I add a Moment 2-5 stop VND filter, great when daylight gets too bright. Wishing you tailwinds in Sweden.

[@benazeddine5255]

@@tristanbogaard Thx Tristan and all the best to you and Belén. Saludos desde la soleada Ebeltoft (10*C hoy).

[@mihalw2]

Maybe it's just my reception or my speakers' fault but I reckon that your voices in the video could be louder in comparison to the music and the overall video volume could be higher. Great video and a great adventure!

[@tristanbogaard]

That’s definitely well noticed. I’m afraid the internal preamp of the camera I’m shooting with just isn’t that great…

[@roberto5602]

I love to watch the office as well. Which portable chair model do you guys use?

[@tristanbogaard]

Watched all the seasons, what a show! Our chairs are from Helinox, the model is Chair Zero. We’re ambassadors for them and have a 15% discount code you’re welcome to use, that’s in the description of this video 👍🏼

[@lindsaysimmonds9019]

Hi. Thanks for the inspiring film. What time of year/months did you do this ride? We're looking for a winter destination!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks Lindsay! We did this ride in March. It’s a great place to ride during winter / springtime!

[@TheMcharette]

Wow like always very nice video. I am preparing a 3 months bike touring trip from end of october to end of January. I have a Kona sutra 2017 with scwalbe marathon plus 700x40c .I was looking at your tires what size are they and what do you recommand. I will start in Lisboa and cross spain on the Douro road up north going towards France and Itally... but i must admit looking at your video of the southern part and islands seems tempting to just do all of spain ..wow !

[@tristanbogaard]

Sounds like you have the right tires already as long as you don’t get off asphalt too much!

[@MrThibs127]

Fantastic and very inspiring video! Your complicity makes it even more beautiful! Keep on living your dreams and thank you for sharing these with us! PS: @tristan: waarom spreek je nog geen spaans😉?!

[@tristanbogaard]

Thank you! Ya hablo español básico pero para los vídeos no tengo vocabulario suficiente. And a mainly English audience ;)

[@jhill8307]

Been following your videos for sometime and it's always a pleasure to watch. My wife has spotted the top your partner wears on most videos and would like to know where she gets them from if possible as they are perfect for cycling. Many thanks

[@tristanbogaard]

Thank you! Yes, she gets asked that a lot. Unfortunately she’s been trying to find them herself but no one seems to sell them anymore… we might provide a solution for that one day!

[@BelleToscan]

I have made the first prototype already but haven't yet found the right fabrics. Hope to be able to replicate it properly one day! =)

[@jhill8307]

@@BelleToscan thanks for the reply. We will be waiting to purchase a couple as soon as you release them. Enjoy your adventures

[@hakanpettersson9231]

Very inspiring trip!witch tent do you use?

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks, Håkan! The tent is a MSR Elixir II, which we’ve been using intensively since 2018. Recommend it thoroughly if you’re looking for one!

[@maria6451]

Fyi the route on komoot appears as pruvate, i canny see it

[@jpizzato]

Another amazing video, thank you for sharing! 🙏 If not too much trouble could I ask you what is this stove and fuel bottle you are using? It looks really handy. Thank you and happy travels 😉👍

[@tristanbogaard]

Thanks Jonathan! Sure, that’s all from Trangia. They’re a wonderful Swedish brand and experts at alcohol cooking. Can recommend their hard anodized pans, too!

[@jpizzato]

@@tristanbogaard thank you very much 😉👍

[@MartynMoutinho]

Yes Tristan! I've been looking forward to this one. P.S the link to Komoot doesn't seem to be working.

[@tristanbogaard]

Hope you enjoyed watching! The link should work now.

[@MartynMoutinho]

@@tristanbogaard loved it! In fact it's inspired me to switch my trip to Spain next week from cycling the mainland to doing this one instead. Thank you for fixing the link and providing the komoot collection. Keep up the awesome adventures and filming!
