Dear Tristan, I am Italian and I have been in almost all places you were showing. Congrats you made a great tour. Foreste Casentinesi deserve more days … Camaldoli monasteries is very nice. This summer I will make Strada degli Dei… maybe another inspiration for your eyes and legs . It’s from Bologna to Florence . Old Roman way called Flaminia military. Stay tuned and I started to follow you my friend
An excellent video, Tristan. Well done, Mate !
What a lovely video and tour! I'm inspired! I need to see it on a map now to get the idea of place.
Thanks for sharing!
Well done! Keep the content coming!
This is amazing bikepacking adventure 👍 I'm heading to my bikepacking adventure next week on Florida panhandle. Thanks for sharing yours.
Wow stunning
Thank you for your videos! I just stumbled upon your channel and I am planning my first ever bike packing trip from southern Germany to northern Italy, where I will stay to study for 6 months. You are very inspiring! Thank you for this video especially
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Beautiful scenery. I came to Italy from Scotland 40 years ago and never really left. Looking forward to bikepacking the Tuscany Trail in May if ever these Covid restrictions get lifted...
why i just find this channel just now just checked out your website very good setup the hybird bikepacking setup for pass 8 years my setup is evolution to that
I just discovered your channel. Amazing contents. And I found this video of yours where you travelled through "my" land. So happy you appreciate Appenino and its wild, peaceful, essence.
You make me feel lucky to live in this area of the world 😊
Thank you, I really loved that area and it's a part of the world I really want to come back to!
@@tristanrid I hope you'll be in Italy again soon. I really like your videos and stories. Congrats for all your experiences all around the world.
Love your videos and all the insights you give into the places you ride. Thanks for sharing! Do you have a route published anywhere that details your travels in San Marino?
The rough route I took was ridewithgps.com/routes/33989701 although I did a lot of improvising side routes along the way :)
Nice!
nice bikepacking setup just sub good channel
How do you find those single track trails through the mountains? Would love to see a video about navigation if you ever have the time. Thanks!
A navigation video will probably be coming at some point, but in the meantime this article might give you some ideas: www.tristanridley.com/post/navigation
Amazing content, you really deserve more views. I just finished high school and your videos inspired me to go on my first journey! (1000km from Salzburg - Rome)
I'm hungry for more!
If I may ask, how do you support your trips? And how do you manage to have so much time for touring? Do you have a job and use the holidays or do you have sponsors and turned bikepacking into your job?
Sorry for these questions but i'm trying to figure out my life and want to make bikepacking a big part of it.
Greetings from Italy🇮🇹
Many thanks for that and congrats on your first trip - that sounds like a great ride! I started out saving up from working and then just trying to stretch my savings as far as I could, and by living very cheaply - my first year of riding, from New Zealand to the UK, cost me something like £4500, which isn't much by western standards for more than a year of travelling. These days it's a little different, I have gear sponsors and make a living as a freelance content writer, so I can make money as I go along and no longer have to stop to work for months at a time. Depending on your skill set, figuring out a way to work remotely as a digital nomad might be possible, but if not then I'd start out by saving up as much as you can and then just budgeting hard once you start. You can get a long way on €5 per day if you're disciplined and wild camp every night! :)
Exciting tour! I plan to ride the San Marino to Florence part, would that be doable on a gravelbike (currently with 47mm front n 42 rear tires)?
The route I did would be doable on a gravel bike yeah, it wasn't too rough. A few short sections were a bit bumpy but not too bad, you'll be fine :)
@@tristanrid Thanks!👍🏻
Another great video! Hopefully, we'll see the back of this lockdown madness and travel restrictions, otherwise, I envisage global cycle trips will be destined to the history books.
This would be a great ride.
Yeah I really want to get back to Tuscany at some point!
@@tristanrid are people friendly there?
Yeah very friendly in my experience, at least away from the tourist spots!
@@tristanrid thanks!
Lovely video Tristan. Can I ask what tent that was in this vid? How do you rate it? I’m in the process of researching for a new lightweight one. Cheers 👍
Just to let you know I’ve shortlisted two branded tents - MSR and tarp tent. I’m leaning towards the MSR Hubba NX.
In this vid I used the Tarptent Rainbow, its an awesome tent. In some climates the single wall could be an issue with condensation, it depends where you plan to camp. I rate Tarptent very highly as a company, so I can definitely recommend them, whereas my experience with MSR products in recent years has been very disappointing, I feel they've really gone downhill. I used a Hubba Hubba Shield for a while and really didn't get on with it, eventually the pole snapped. Personally if you want a double wall I'd go with the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL1. I'm currently using in Kenya and its a fantastic tent, i much prefer it to the MSR.
@@tristanrid hey, thank you, that’s some great insight. I hope to finalise my decision soon. I roam a lot in colder climates, but the way things are currently going, warmer weather too. What’s happening in Kenya? Enjoy it mate, I’m originally from Nairobi 😊
Looked like a lot of fun and definatly beautiful. Im a bit confused about your statement at the end saying you didnt stay put in England we are still in full lockdown and travel of any kind is banned ?
I left England just before they made travel illegal - I've been in Kenya for the last few months putting together a new long distance bikepacking route, which I'm really looking forward to sharing soon!
@@tristanrid Kenya ! you are very lucky to be travelling there ! Life for me has just got worse and worse now on day 56 of lockdown 3 . Enjoy your trip dont come back we have restrictions set to timetable of gradual lifting to last until ,to quote Borris, "no earlier than June 21st " !
I remember being here, I saw a inventor and a weird hooded man getting chased on a wagon, different times
What type of handlebar do you like? I have a mountain bike I'm converting into a touring rig, and I find that the straight bar really is not comfortable. I'm looking for an older touring bike to buy, but in the meantime I'm working on my mountain bike.. Advice??
If you check this article from my website I talk about handlebars here: www.tristanridley.com/post/outback
Do you post your routes? Would be interested to check this one out.
I'm afraid I wasn't recording my routes at the time, but these days my rides go straight up onto my Strava and Komoot, if you search for my name you should be able to find me :)
Can you please explain us about your bike packing setup
Hi, sorry for the late reply. My gear list and a few articles about my setup are on my website at www.tristanridley.com/gear
@@tristanrid no prob man thanks a lot it will be useful for me
What equipment do you have and especially which tent?
My gear list is on my website at www.tristanridley.com/gear (link is also in the video description). The tent I used in this video is the Tarptent Rainbow :)
Thank you!!!
Do you ever feel the bright yellow trim on that tent is a bit of an issue when it comes to stealth camping?
I've never had anyone find me, so no issues. The colour is good for stealth camping, admittedly it would be better without the yellow but its not too bad.
I loved this. I love Italy.
I think I'm going to do this :)
Would you(or anyone in the comments) be able to signpost me to any reliable resources around camping in Italy? It looks to be a mixed bag and I'd rather not be pulling .22's out of my hind quarters after angering a land owner :D
I'd definitely recommend Tuscany in particular, such a beautiful region. I'm not aware of any particular resources, I would just suggest staying well away from the coast as wild camping there is very difficult due to the landscape and population density. I found wild camping incredibly easy and pleasant in the mountains :)
Hey man do you have a gpx file of this route??
I'm afraid not, this was just before I started tracking my rides, but pretty much that whole area between San Marino and Florence is spectacular so I don't think you can go too far wrong!
что за вел?
Did you see any wildlife?
Plenty of birds but nothing big, from memory :)
Underrated areas?
