[@greghart6310]

Pretty amazing and amazingly pretty. Gorgeous scenery and chilled vibe - thanks for the vid.

[@mikelogan2684]

Absolutely stunning

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Mike!

[@wendysuperfan1014]

thanks Tristan

[@maniastrat]

Wow glad your back & thanks so much for another great video! All I can say every time I see Andorra is OMG OMG so beautiful....Funny I have to admit I also said OMG when I saw your tubeless flat hahah...Sorry I'm too old school & will stick with tubes as I'm not in much of a rush & hardly flat ;) Thanks again for a great vid & wondering about your big phone call? My guess your joining a pro team? hmmm moviestar has a lot of riders in Andorra don't they? ;)

[@scugno]

Mate loved ❤️ this one. The tubeless thing you said is so true. Big news?!?! Tell us! I hate to wait... 😂

[@kwparker]

Perfect conditions - so good!

[@RiseNShine681]

LOVE Fall cycling!! If you like Andorra, I HIGHLY recommend Colorado in the US!

[@tristantakevideo]

Very keen to head over and check out Colorado. I hear many good things.

[@paudomenech2054]

mate you made a motivational video without pretending it, so cool and now facing long training days looks a bit easier :)

[@tristantakevideo]

Thank you my friend 🙏🏼

[@andrewgalea5920]

Worth the wait between vlogs. Your ability to capture the best of your surroundings is phenomenal.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks so much Andrew..that means a lot!

[@antoniocasablancasvilanova2207]

Coll d'ordino brings nice memories! You captured the beauty of Andorra's fall. Looking forward to your vlog with Ben!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Antonio! This place really is amazing.

[@leedenton870]

Great vlog & music as per usual Tristan. My Spotify playlist is coming on leaps & bounds 👍

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers Lee!

[@derekcravenPT]

Welcome back, missed your vids but the wait was well worth it… stunning photography.

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers Derek!

[@JamesBoz]

Stunning scenery mate! Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year to ride and get some shots. 🍁

[@tristantakevideo]

Agreed..so so beautiful this time of year!

[@JamesBoz]

@@tristantakevideo If you haven’t done so already, get over to Japan in autumn. It too is breathtaking and the riding is not too shabby either.

[@ajfmaughan]

Was pumped to see another one vids drop. Well worth the wait and the scenery is like WOW!! Nice work with the teaser re the phone call and eagerly awaiting to see what that is all about. Well done mate great work once again.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Andrew

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

I reckon I would burn thru SD cards as fast as brake pads with that scenery .... Never leave my little cybershot at home....

[@tristantakevideo]

Easily. It’s impeccable here, especially right now. 👌🏼

[@justinrooimans3546]

Nice one!

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers Justin!

[@paulgraham5076]

That is some amazing scenery

[@robmason6466]

Welcome back. Good to see you again. Glad to hear you’ll be hooking up with BOC-always a treat. We’ve got Tom Dumoulin over here doing the local rides for the next few days. Things finally loosening up a bit on international travel thank goodness. A good deal of optimism going around and that includes this vlog of yours. Nice job Tee.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Rob! Cool to hear Tommy D is hanging out with you guys! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

Great video once again, all your videos are top notch ! Some stunning scenery fall is a beautiful time of year

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks guys 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rolynaround2678]

Excellent video like all the others Tristan. Tristan can you quickly comment on cost of living in Gerona, apartment, food entertainment etc, etc. Planning an extended stay on 2022 and would love to know your thoughts. Keep those videos coming and you need to get a drone!!! Thanks

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks..glad you like the video! There are plenty of variables to cost of living in Girona but in general apartments are between €700-1200/mo on average, food is affordable compared with most parts of Europe and entertainment (at least for me) is usually kept to bike riding and dinners with friends which both aren’t exorbitant. It’s easy to live a pretty comfortable life if you don’t have big spending habits. And if you do, Girona may not be entertaining enough for you…😆

[@rolynaround2678]

@@tristantakevideo Thanks for the reply your habits are the same as mine. Ride bike and have dinner with friends. Thanks for the info hope to get a ride in with you guys once I'm there.

[@TomGoodban]

Stunning scenery and another awesome vlog. Really captured the beauty of Andorra. Excited for the announcement coming soon.

[@roadfert]

Another great video Tristan, music and videography were on point as usual! I’m excited to hear about your pending good news and I’m glad you’re going to share it with all of us soon.

[@nicolasmoreau3434]

You'd love cycling in the black forest (Germany) too - slightly similar though the climbs are a bit shorter. Beautiful colours

[@xymek24]

Love this video, such a great ride, what a views❤️

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks my friend 🙏🏼♥️

[@vladimirscerbin9511]

Tristan, simply beautiful up there. Thanks for the awesome video and you do inspire us!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks so much Vlad! Stoked you enjoyed it so much 🙏🏼

[@marcroca2706]

amzing video!!!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man! 🙏🏼

[@idw42]

I do wish I was in the mountains right now! Epic views!

[@tristantakevideo]

Couple of descents you could go fast AF on here…

[@markahles1580]

Tristan, great video! Andora bucket list future ride for me! Is that a steel road bike you are climbing with? Brand? Group set? 28mm tires? Keep the blogs coming!

[@tristantakevideo]

Yeah man, it’s a steel Legor Cicli. I made a video about it back in May (S1 E16) if you’d like to check it out in detail 👌🏼

[@markahles1580]

@@tristantakevideo Solid choice of rides! The compact frame with sloping top tube is perfect for any steel as found on my own bike. Gold flaked shiny black - tight! Thanks for sharing the bike details.

[@andyheath264]

Another awesome video. The autumn colours captured perfectly. What about the phone call?

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man. Been a bit behind with it but the result of the phone call will be announced soon. 👌🏼

[@Oakpathetics]

Beautiful colours and scenery! I feel like I’m there.. did you drive to Andorra this time? Isn’t that cheating? Lol

[@tristantakevideo]

My fitness definitely isn’t up to riding from Girona to Andorra currently…driving had to do this time.

[@ForwardLooking832]

Looks like the roads hardly have any car traffic. Whats it like on the roads there with the car traffic and driver attitudes?

[@tristantakevideo]

There are more cars driving around here than in Girona, by virtue of the fact Andorra is more tightly packed and has less roads, but in general drivers are courteous. I also tend to stop filming when cars go past for the sake of the footage, my own embarrassment, and the noise, which is why there are rarely cars in my videos in general.

[@kyle3570]

love your videos, what tubeless tires are u using.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Kyle. I'm running the ENVE SES Road tubeless in 700x27c.

[@kyle3570]

@@tristantakevideo love those tanwalls ♥️

[@whoddy]

5:18 Hold up!!! are u riding an E-BIKE?? I can hear the power kick in when you started pedaling.

[@tristantakevideo]

That’s the sound of brake pads on an Enve carbon rim. I was going downhill, filming one handed and trying to clip in at the same time.

[@garyfleet3440]

What tyre sealant do you use Tristan

[@tristantakevideo]

I use Stans sealant

[@ricardo1000821]

what about the phone call? hahahaha

[@tristantakevideo]

You’ll have to wait to find out…😉
