    Switzerland has great scenery that is for sure, but of course the down side is that the scenery can rip your legs off

    Top vid mate. Captured it all perfectly! That ☀️ slowly revealing the Swiss countryside was truly magnificent! Although Fabian put me in the car for that section 🤦‍♂️ 😂

    Tour des Stations would be great one for you to cover - would love to see a video on that.

    I’m in hospital rehabbing after a full knee replacement last week. It’s 2.45 am in Sydney. Thanks for being my pain relief. I have loved this video!!! You’ve made my day already. 👍💪👏❤️

      Ooft so glad to have helped out in some small way, Judy. Hope the recovery goes well! There’s another big video in the works for next week in case you’re still needing pain relief then too. 🙏🏼

    Your cinematography is stunning, your commentary concise and fluent and, of course, your riding equally impressive with a touch of humility and almost self-deprecation! Well done and thank you.
    Cheers from Melbourne, Kostas.

    I’ve been off the bike seriously for three years. Sometimes you get lost in life and forget what you love to do. Unfortunately we have to work and there’s not enough time in the day to do it all. So now I just watch your videos and get pumped…ah I miss it. Maybe it’s time to make some life adjustments.

    Fab video - the scenery was epic, the social side was cool and your sparse and relaxed commentary suited the whole thing as usual. Well done mate.

    Epic scenery mate! Looks like you really enjoyed this one. We have a similar race in Norway called Jotunheimen Rundt, you should come participate, tbh you have a fair shot at the win too. It’s our most beautiful race. 430km and 4600 ascend

    HI Tristan, Great visuals as usual! On a side note, will you please do a video on traveling with your bike. How to pack, bag recommendations etc.? Our bikes are so costly so perhaps you may have tips on traveling safe with our bikes. Thanks and keep those videos coming. Cheers!

      Thanks mate. For this ride I used a Lezyne Hectodrive 500XL, which wasn’t really enough. Small, but the battery didn’t last very long and I had to run it on the lowest setting for longer than I would’ve liked.

    • @tristantakevideo
      @tristantakevideo  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They wanted to get everyone out of Zurich and into the mountains before there was too much traffic around, and it took some riders 15-16 hours to complete and they didn’t want to have people coming in in the dark. But yeah, it was a very early start, that’s for sure!
