I tried to ride my bike through Andorra, Spain and France in one day, but I forgot my passport...

Three countries in one day and the chance to pass Julian Alaphilippe; incredible. Must get the Strava route and add to the list. Another great update from TTV. You've been a great find this year on Utube.

[@matthewsutter8043]

What a ride! Not everyday you get to say you road past the World Champ!

[@shaunpratt5521]

Awesome footage as usual. Always feel like I'm riding along with you

[@tristantakevideo]

Awesome, thanks dude..that's always the aim!

[@rbutt88]

Great video Tristan! Love the chilled vibe of it all, reminding me why I love getting out on the bike

[@wendysuperfan1014]

thanks Tristan

[@Richz2]

What a great ride! You certainly have some great scenery. Nice to get out for 5hrs in December…

[@BobMcKerrell]

Added that loop to the grail rides list :)

[@vladvultur3347]

Well done buddy very nice ride 😊pleasure to am watching your content nice to see use the old rim brake bike never get old ❤

[@armantiti]

This is awesome...love it

[@cremenivea6282]

Exciting vid man!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thank you!

[@boyhoy1978]

Another belter of a video, lobe the tree colours in the video/at this time of year. Nice motivation as I come back from a broken elbow. One thing I did notice, Ben's jacket is that on brand, will he get in trouble? Seen that recently with other riders.

[@wadejacobson5126]

Awesome ride, beautiful views and a Julian sighting! What a great day!

[@Oakpathetics]

Love those mountain views!! Great video 👍🏻

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man 🏔👌🏼

[@rbonn3880]

Brilliant ride...no wonder you had that mini-bonk!

[@andyking8464]

Thanks so much for that one - the snow was just spectacular! (5hr40min ride - I'd be a lot more than 'cooked' - kudos!)

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers Andy! Yeah it was pretty incredible up there. Very keen to get up there again soon.

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

Great video once again some great shots, you do a great job in these videos.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thank you! That snow made it pretty epic.

[@simonnaylor9695]

Big thanks to you Tristan. The snow's been falling for about a week here in Ascou, above Ax les Thermes. Hit the TTV box set, start to finish and it has gotten me through some long indoor trainer rides. Keep 'em coming.

[@tristantakevideo]

That’s awesome man. Hope you can get out and enjoy some skiing when not on the trainer…

[@marcroca2706]

hey Tristan, this loop is super nice to do with friends but also riding alone is so pacefuly also. Super nice video, congrats mate!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks man! Yeah it would've been cool to have Ben there for longer if he could've, but I was just as happy cruising by myself. Such a great ride to just slow down and enjoy.

[@rolynaround2678]

Again awesome footage!!! Don't know how you do it at those temps. Living in Florida 10C for me is very cold. Keep the great footage coming much appreciated.

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks mate! You get used to it a bit, but mainly it’s just about wearing the right gear 👌🏼 Glad you’re loving the videos!

[@olly1oo6]

I don't even ride road bikes and I still love watching your videos.

[@tristantakevideo]

Aw shucks. Thanks my dude. ♥️🙏🏼

[@Chreeeys]

I just watched your Season 1 Episode 0 Video. Will this "Project" really end in 2021 seeing that you made this your personal project for "2021"? Glad to see that you gained some subscribers along the year - me included!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks mate 🙏🏼 I’ve decided to keep it going into 2022 as well. In the Life Update episode from August I talk about why, and about how much having so much support means to me. So if you feel like watching another episode that’s the one! Thanks again and glad to have you on board!

[@antspage]

im amazed there is so little traffic around being in europe , which is great !

[@tristantakevideo]

Yeah it’s amazing. Although there are so many roads here and people are very spread out so it’s always quite quiet in the mountains.

[@victoralguero5828]

great video as always, awsome roads and landscape, there's an open competition every june called les tres nacions/the three nations that I highly recomend, about 150 km long and 2400m climb. the start and finish line is in Puigcerà. catalaonia. it is a good challenge!

[@tristantakevideo]

That’s awesome! I didn’t know that. I’ve done La Purito and have been meaning to get up there for a couple of the other fondo’s so I’ll have to look it up 👌🏼

[@JS091294]

Are you counting that as 'dropping' Alaphillippe? I would be!

[@tristantakevideo]

Julian is used to seeing Ben ride away from him, but definitely a first time for me..😂

[@cliffordchaperon6795]

great stuff - simply the best

[@tristantakevideo]

🙌🏼 Thanks mate

[@zemskii]

Looks mint!

[@tristantakevideo]

Cheers man, was pretty good!

[@timquinn3705]

Found your channel, great vids Tristan! Qn: are your Oakley’s Jawbreakers - they look deeper than mine?

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Tim! Yep, just regular Jawbreakers. I have quite a small face so perhaps they look a little larger than normal.

[@maniastrat]

Thank You so much for another great Vlog! That was incredible with the weather changes as you said & so beautiful! Thanks Again! Aloha!!

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks Mike! 🙏🏼 So glad you enjoyed it.

[@josepmariagonzalezvega2341]

D’això se’n diu les 3 Nacions!!! Granvalira un dels meus ports preferits.

[@scugno]

Super cool mate! Julien sighting made the video better 🤙🏽

[@tristantakevideo]

🙌🏼

[@WelshdragonRugby]

Love your videos mate! Just a quick question: do you reckon Andorra is alright for a week-long training camp in February or will it be too snowy?

[@tristantakevideo]

Thanks dude 🙏🏼 I’d say February would be too snowy to truly enjoy it. Girona, on the other hand…😉

[@mattrobinson716]

Wowser.Another bucket list ride for me😀 Any news re a Spotify playlist? Stay well

[@tristantakevideo]

Maybe I’ll put together a folder with my 2021 tracks for people to download over the new year 😏

[@daveposker-hill687]

Great videos as always. What software do you use to plan your routes?

[@tristantakevideo]

This one I know quite well as I’ve ridden all the roads in it multiple times but if I’m planning something I haven’t done before, Strava. Heat maps are a great way to work out what’s popular and works well. 👌🏼

[@daveposker-hill687]

@@tristantakevideo thanks heaps!!! Us Sydney-siders are loving your adventures abroad; please keep them coming.

[@lucasvallejogonzalez3776]

Which GPS are you using? Thanks!

I use a Wahoo Bolt

[@LouieMcFly23]

What is the lens color on those Jawbreakers? Is it the snow prizm sapphire?

[@tristantakevideo]

Correct! That's the one.

[@LouieMcFly23]

@@tristantakevideo hahaha 🤣....no joke, i seen you wear them so i had to go and buy them myself. I took advantage of that Oakley sale last week and grabbed a couple of lenses too 💪🏼

[@tristantakevideo]

Haha nice. Enjoy!

Is that julian? Yes he is right?

That is Julian, yes
