Amazing video , well done Tristan!. You captured everything- the excitement , the beauty, the changing conditions, the struggle and the dopamine! I need to save my pennies for a trip to Girona

One of the most inspiring video's I have ever seen! Such a beautiful piece of earth. Keep creating and all the best for you, Tristan!

[@syiridium703]

I would likely not be able to complete that ride, or maybe at something like 12kph average and would be broken for a week. But man, those views, those climbs, those descents - I definitely like to at least try some day! Thanks for bringing this to us!

Great video Tristan. I made that Barcelona-Andorra commute last year vía Ponts, La Seu de Urgell, etc, alone... It was something I´ll never forget, it made me appreciate a lot being alone in that vast landscape. Such beautifuls views. The next day I made Andorra-Calaf and took the train... awesome experience... Epic Ride!... Keep it up!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man! That’s an epic ride via Ponts and La Seu. Cool to hear. It’s a beautiful part of the country (and world). 👌🏼

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

Three countries in one day? No cops? I still can't even leave the local province without being stopped for an ID check 🤪...and how's that scenery and those roads !

[@ghostandtapeDoesVideo]

Awesome work once again!!!! Curious to know what seat post bag Diedrik was using 🧐 Looks like a great size

[@tristantakevideo]

He’s got a Cordel. We both have actually. Great bags. Check out @cordel.cc on Instagram 👌🏼

Did you ever find out who the tune is?

11 degrees, rain and wind sounds like a classic Belgian summer day to me...

You would’ve been right at home 🇧🇪

@@tristantakevideo was there more than 10 meters of climbing though? 🤔

[@judd7699]

What’s it cost to rent in Girona - would you say it’s the best place to base yourself? Matt

[@tristantakevideo]

It depends what you rent and where - usually places range between €800-1600 for a nice 3 bedroom apartment in the center of town.

[@judd7699]

@@tristantakevideo cheers Tristan .. would you recommend any other spots as well - I’m going to ride a lot of Italy after may as well .. ( 3/4 months) Matt

[@judd7699]

@@tristantakevideo and would you bring your own bike or buy one and sell before you go? 🍻

[@tristantakevideo]

Bring your own bike..far easier and less hassle.
