The ultimate road trip would have to be to ship our camper van to New Zealand and spend many months camping in the gorgeous landscape, training, surfing, and even snowboarding! I don think anything could beat that!
I think any road trip is an adventure and by bicycle in my opinion is the ultimate way to experience nature; moving along at a leisurely pace to enjoy the change of scenery. My road trip of choice is high up in the Andes, from Salta in Northern Argentina, across the Atacama Desert to the Pacific Chilean coast; the sound of silence is like nothing else and the sky at night as clear as can be to loose yourself in the vastness of the universe.
When my daughter war 4 years old we decided to do our very first mum-daughter adventure trip. We were hiking over the mountains for five days, sleeping in huts along the way, and then jumped onto our bikes and finished the tour from Styria (close to the Red Bull race course) to Carinthia! It was amazing. Of course - as my girl was only 4 - we did around 6km hiking per day and around 15km on the bike every day. But we managed to arrive safe and well. We liked this so much that we have been doing these adventure trips every summer ever since. So, Lucy and Reece, you should definitely see where the owner of your sponsor brand comes from! We’d love to show you the Murtal in more detail!
An ideal road trip for me would be touring through the Alpes with all the lovely scenery of mountains, lakes and little villages with many enchanting castles.
Best road trip ever: Vancouver island in western Canada. Just amazing scenery, so many activities for outdoor lovers, best surfing in all of Canada and some amazingly nice people. Plus bonus points for whales, orcas and seals sights!!!
Ultimate roadtrip - from Newfoundland all across Canada to Alaska. Road trip with a minivan and exploring the beautiful nature and sights on foot and bike. Can't even imagine how cool would that be...
My Dream road trip: either a ride on the border of my country (Belgium) or either a roadtrip/bikepacking trip in South-Africa (especially the west-coast), been there once, absolutely loved the scenery, the people, the vibes, ...
My go to road trip would be the west islands of Scotland all the way from Arran to the Outer Hebrides, because the scenery is absolutely breath taking and quite remote!
my ideal road trip is a bike road trip with my husband through italy in spring. Because of the good weather and the delicious italian food 🍕🥰
Alps! They are stunning. So many places where you can swim, great and classic bike climbs and gorgeous trail running spots. Just a dream!
Hello from the US. I think the ultimate road trip is to drive across the USA. Explore all the different types of foods and seeing all the national parks we have to offer. Go camping and waking up to the nature sounds is the most amazing thing. Running around waterfalls and mountain biking along the trails would be a lot of fun.
Best roadtrip I can think of is driving to Finland in the summer from Paris. crossing northern europe, cold swims, mountains, lots of fresh air and finishing off in Kuopio Finland to compete in the Ironman next year! Hands down the most beautiful and magical place I have ever visited, where the sun never sets!
We are currently traveling around the USA in our van. We'd recommend the roadtrip down route 101 on the west coast through oregon to california, stunning cliff views and some awesome running trails before dipping in the sea.
Ultimate road trip would be from the top of either the uk or the states to the bottom in some warmer weather so as to be able to adventure around the different locations. Such as finding different swimming spots or some killer hills to run up.
It’d be awesome to road-trip Italy, from Milan all the way down to Naples and beyond. So much culture, history, fashion, art. What a dreamy place! Not to mention the food and vino!!!
I live in Florida, USA, so my ultimate road trip would be down to the Keys and to Tortuga National Park, which you can't actually drive to. You have to take a boat or a plain to get to the national park... so cool! It's a sunken fortress in the Gulf of Mexico. Your trip looked wonderful!
Bikepacking: Surely through Italy! Incredible weather, wonderful mountain passes and the best food you'll ever find. 😋
I once worked with a lady who quit her job and biked around Lake Michigan with her brother. The pictures she took were breath taking. So many different places to see.
If your looking for road trip places, come to Jersey! Stunning scenery for swim, bike and run! We even have had occasions where dolphins and seals have joined us during the swim!
Let us know if you do come over and the Jersey tri club can show you around!
St David's in Wales, lots of beautiful scenary, trail runs, coastal path walks, sea, boat trips around Ramsey Island, great bike routes, bug farm (eating bugs is always something different) small boutique shops and the kindest, warmest people you will ever meet. Trip of dreams ❤️🙌
my dream roadtrip would be Italy, love the cities, the sea and the nature
New Zealand! The scenery is amazing and there's so much to see and do.
Ultimate Road Trip: New Zealand! Central North Island around Rotorua/Taupo or Lower South island Queenstown/Wanaka because there's awesome scenery, beaches and mountains in the same day, along with a tonne of fun activities and great people.
My roadtrip would be russia. I met someone half a year ago and we are soulmates, been so much fun and so much more memories to come!
Definitely Switzerland. You will find anything within a short distance: high mountains, nice trails, beautiful landscapes and lakes, different cultures, big city life, and much more. On top, you can reach all destinations by fair means. Public transportation and the cycling paths are one of a kind ... you have to go there. Perfect for an active road trip
The best road trip I have ever taken was this Summer with my Dad after his retirement. We went along the Wild Atlantic Way down the West Coast of Ireland, all 1600 miles from Donegal to Cork. We stopped off at loads of stunning beaches for a swim, took on some rugged bike routes and climbed a few mountains along the way. We had our Westie, Snowy, along for the trip too! 🐶
I think you and Reece would love it, but I'll not guarantee the weather...it is Ireland after all! 😉
Love the videos guys, congratulations on a great season and best of luck for next year!
Go to Roadtrip would be the lake district, loads of great hills, swimming and pubs! and amazing scenes, you should explore the north more!
Ultimate dream roadtrip would be to drive with my mini camper through Norway! Cycling, Running and Hiking on my way and eventually seeing the polar lights😍
Round the west coast of Wales. Fabulous, clean beaches and such adventure with coasteering etc, and the national cycle path gives almost unlimited off- road, but path cycling and the most beautiful runs. And the people are lovely and welcoming. What's not to love?!
A roadtrip to Norway. Running along shores and beautiful mountains, swimming in the cold fjords and cycling on long days in summer. Just enjoying the super long days in this rough but magical landscape ❤️🔥
After beating cancer a few years ago I went to the west coast of Ireland to celebrate the win. There I met a nice triathlete at training and I was immediately enchanted by the sport. When I was back in Germany I immediately started training for my first triathlon and I got first in my age group (but just because I was the only one in my age group)😅. Because this holiday was a very special one in terms of my past (cancer) and my future (triathlon), it would be my ultimate road trip to go there again. I would be very happy about the equipment, since my old one is already a bit damaged.
Best regards from 😊
Benjamin from Berlin
Ultimate road trip, NC500 round the north of Scotland. Stunning scenary, great roads to drive, lovely people and loads of amazing wild swimming spots.
My ultimate road trip would be the Great Ocean Road in Australia, it's 243km of stunning natural beauty and I'd love to drive the whole thing with some adventurous stops along the way!
Ultimate road trip would be Italian Alps/Dolomites. Mountains and scenery for cycling, lakes for a dip and can't beat Italian food after.
My ideal road trip would be the travelling from the north to the south of New Zealand’s South Island. Picturesque mountains, lakes and shorelines, plenty of amazing towns to stay at along the way, and to finish up in Queenstown, adventure capital of the world, would be the cherry on top!
my dream road trip would be round Norway in the summer. Unreal fjords, beautiful coastline, rugged mountains for trail running, waterfalls everywhere for a dip and stunning wild camping spots! 🏔
The dream road trip in the van would be to the outer Hebrides in Scotland 🏴 Barra is a MUST visit for the beaches and the roads are excellent on the Hebridean way for a cycling adventure 💙🏔☀️
Best road trip definitely along the north coast of Spain. Amazing scenery, beaches, people, food and cities!!
Another one for north Devon and North Cornwall love how welcoming everyone is and that the dogs are allowed almost everywhere
Love the central part of Portugal, around Ericeira and Mafra area, with its dreamlike landscape of rolling hills. Perfect for cycling and with lots of scenic running routes too
My dream road trip would involve island hopping through swimrun on the Swedish islands, then followed by a ride up the hill, stop and have a coffee and cake break, and then finish off with a hike to the top of the mountain to catch the sunset!🤩
My best road trip would be starting in Vancouver going down south to San Francisco and maybe also going to Zion etc. My wife and I did this years ago and it was so lovely
My ideal triathlon roadrtrip would be Brisbane→Gold Coast in Australia.
The Australian coast has amazing beaches and the roads are wide and flat, perfect for a relaxing ride or jog. On the way to the Gold Coast is the Sunshine Coast, which also has amazing beaches and food. The waves on the Sunshine Coast are a bit calmer, making for an excellent swim.
Done this very trip and can attest to its beauty
Scottish Borders. Beautiful scenery, lovely road and off road biking, gorgeous lochs to swim in, amazing trails to run on. Friendly people, lovely cafes. You'd love it.
My favourite place is the Swiss alps. Beautiful mountains, stunning glacial lakes and to top it off amazing cheese, chocolate and beer! It was visiting my friend there that helped me remember swimming can be fun and not just training.
Southwest Colorado, San Juan Mountains. Which is also my home. So nice here, I don't want to go anywhere else.
100% The Wild Atlantic Way down the west coast of Ireland. Rugged landscape, great ocean side trail running. Start in Donegal and spend the week going down the whole west coast finishing in Dingle Co.Kerry.
The roadtrip worth doing is the one we have scheduled with a caravan next year, which will be the triangle of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, where lots of swims (in hopefully not too cold) lakes, lots of hilly bicycle rides, and amazing runs in nature will be - so definitely I would recommend that one!
Ultimate road trip would have to be round the countries bordering the Adriatic Sea; beautiful crystal clear waters, stunning scenery and National Parks, a great place to catch a tan, and of course the food is delicious!!
My ideal road trip would be in the Alps. There are so many active things to do from hiking to swimming in lakes and paddling in freezing mountain streams to paragliding. Plus the scenery is so beautiful that even the driving part of the road trip would be amazing!
My ideal road trip would be Norway. Long open water swims in the lakes, nice bike rides and beautiful runs through the amazing forests!
The North East is such a fab place for a road trip...from the coast to the hills and the forest it is all stunning! (And sunny in the summer!)
Through the Yorkshire Dales and into the Lake district the roads can be so quiet and its so beautiful!!
My ultimate road trip is Cornwall !! It’s so mega awesome that I now live here in my little caravan by the ocean.
The revitalising blue juice of the Bude seapool that was rescued by the local people the friends of Bude Spool, the rolling quite cycling of Widemouth to Dartmoor and the magical running views enchanted woodlands and friendly wildlife to Sandymouth and Stowe woods.
I just love it 🙂
Isle of Skye. Beautiful scenery perfect run, bike,swim,dog walking adventure for me and my family and 2 labs ❤️
Dolomites !! If you enjoy the winter season, skimo, alpine skiing, outdoor fun activities in the snow, you'll find there the most astonishing mountain scenery ever ! 😀 And do not forget the Sud Tyrol pastries and hot drinks
Have a great off season to you !!😻
Our Carter road trip would be one around the North Coast 500 in Scotland. In a camper van with Nick, myself and our little sausage dog River we would aim to do a walk,swim or bike at sunrise most days. After losing my Mum, Dad and Father in Law to cancer over the past 5 years it really matters to us to go out there and make memories whilst we can. We feel really connected to our parents watching the sunrise together and hope to do more adventures like this in 2022 together 😊🌟 xx
Road trip from Johannesburg, down through Durban along the garden route all the way to Cape Town! Words can’t describe the beauty! 🇿🇦
I would recommend you to do a roadtrip from Denmark (Hvide Sande) all the way to Sweden (Stockholm) and down to Denmark (Copenhagen) again. Lots of nature filled with brilliant cities and really bike- and Roadtrip friendly people.
Great video! My ideal road trip would be from Croatia to Slovenia, visiting the national parks and lakes on the way. Plan to do this when travel becomes less complicated!
I was support crew for my best friend doing The epic Celtman Extreme Scottish triathlon this year, starting at the beautiful but cold Shiedaig village, cycling beautiful highland roads and finishing with running 2 Munro mountains!! It opened my eyes to really what a beautiful place we have here in Scotland, so many places I’ve not been to, so many opportunities to be had for adventures cycling the Bealach Na Ba(Scotland’s only alpine pass) or adventuring the hills or simply just exploring with family and the dogs, opportunities to make memories everywhere!
My dream road trip would be down the west coast of the United States with my family! I'd love to start through Washington state to run around the Seattle area and indulge in a bunch of coffee! Then head down through the beautiful coast of California and go for swims! Ideally after that, I'd leave the coast and go the Grand Canyon. It must be a beautiful sight and I hope to see sometime!!
My dream road trip would be to travel around the coast of Australia because of all the awesome running and cycling trails and also swimming in the crystal clear waters.
My husband and I would do a route trip through whole Denmark. We love the seaside and the Danish people are so lovely and chilled. We can also recommend the bike paths there, which often are next to the normal street. The summer over there is just amazing and the beaches are brilliant. Especially the island Rømø next to the German island Sylt is wonderful.
My ultimate road trip would be up the Pacific Coast Highway. So many beautiful views, cute towns, and amazing parks to visit!
My ultimate road trip is Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the summer. Swim, bike, run, hike, climb, kayak and camp / glamp in spectacular awe inspiring scenery; DO IT!
Slovenia! Beautiful nature and lots of lakes, awesome trails and openwater swimming 🏊♂️🏊♀️🌲🌳
Best road trip that I would love to do again: National Parks in SW USA. Starting in Los Angeles, to Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, then looping back through Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Zion, before stopping in Las Vegas on the way back to Los Angeles. This was the trip that I took my wife on her first time in the USA.
I like doing roadtrips with our camper. My ultimate roadtrip to norway. The landscape is amazing. I would like to see polarlights and swiming in a Fjord. Maybe visit some places of the norseman triathlon.
If you like coast and beautiful scenery then I would recommend cycling from Seattle to San Francisco. I did it on a tandem beautiful
A road trip I recommend is going from Lisbon to visit Cascais, Sintra and all the amazing villages around not forgetting to taste the amazing food!
Get down to Australia to do Ironman Port Macquarie and road trip the east coast of Aus. So many amazing spots and you can choose to go North for hot weather or South for cooler weather - definitely no wetsuits needed down here!
My ultimate road-trip would be to drive up to New England to visit the place I was born. It's such a beautiful part of the United States to see. I want to spend Christmas in a place that gets snow and looks like a dream. I haven't been near the sea in such a long time and I think it is time for me to be near it again.
Vancouver Island would be my ideal trip. Mountains, rainforest, beautiful beaches surfing and old growth trees that are huge and hundreds of years old.
My ultimate road trip would be through west and south west France. This is we’re we holidayed in our caravan as kids and I’d love to load the bike up and travel to several different places exploring the beautiful French countryside and coast with my wife and kids. Enjoying all the food and wine along the way!
I would love to do a road trip visiting all of the different National Parks in the US. They are all so diverse that there would be endless possibilities for swimming, hiking, running and cycling in so many different environments. What a dream come true holiday that would be!
I’d love to road trip around the UK’s national parks and do lots of wild swimming. Being a Geographer, I appreciate the natural landscape of the UK and got an even greater passion for them over lockdown. Definitely lots more to explore.
A road trip I would love to go on is around Canada, extremely diverse and everyone says how vivid the colours and the landscape is! But in the Uk I would love to do the Scottish highlands, you forget how beautiful the UK is and how much there is to see! Great to see you being so complimentary and happy to be holidaying in England!
Also incredible prize and giveaway by you and Roka!
Also my fav part of the video was Lola running around with her bush stick 😂 I hope she was allowed to bring it home
I would love to do the North Coast 500 roadtrip around the coast of north Scotland! I'd love to be able to explore so much of Scotland, such a beautiful place, in one go! The whole 500 mile trip would give the van a real opportunity to show off! If not Scotland for a roadtrip, I'd also recommend the Pennines/ the Peak District as that part of the UK is also stunning. Some amazing cycling too - although some of the climbs are tough to say the least!!
Around the UK’s coastline with my three dogs and friends. Including the Scottish outer and inner Hebrides with bikes, wetsuits, walking boots and trail shoes in the back ready. The sun shining and smiles across our faces and a lit fire pit with cold glasses of gin in the evening, whiles watching the sun set.
Norwegian fjords (over the summer of course): it has the end of the world feel where time and humans have not conquered nature. The purity of the sea and the mountains, the longest days you can imagine, and the wild northern Atlantic at your feet, wow!
Really love your contents and following your adventures.
I would defenetly go to Australia to do a Roadtrip. So Many road to explore running or cycling plus some lovely coasts for Swimming session. I always remember Bondi Beach where you have the ocean and an outside pool with view on the ocean. Sunsets are amazing ;).
Enjoy your off season and this festive time!
I have always wanted to go across to Europe and do a canal boat holiday travelling up and down the rivers and locks. See some countryside, quaint villages and getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Bicycles on the roof and hopping on and off whenever something looks exciting!
The Lake District. Something magical about it wherever you end up.
My dream road trip : In France in the massif central, lots of hills and beautiful landscape and very calm, peacefull environnement good for a retreat. The best for training (good roads for the bike and lakes for swimming). love y'all !!
Hey guys! The south island of New-Zealand is just amazing for road trips. There are just so many different amazing places and locals are so kind!
New Zealand! Beautiful coasts and lakes for swimming, roads for cycling, and mountain trails for running!
Flew to New York, got a rental car and drove through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Wyoming and back to Utah. So much to see.
In 2018 I did a Roadtrip in Scotland. Such a lovely landscape and friendly people. Start from Edinburgh and enjoy this beautiful country! Merry christmas!
My dream road trip would be driving throughout the United States with my dad and visiting all of the baseball stadiums in the summer while riding our bikes as well!
Road trip from Perth to Darwin (Australia) along the coastline - there is a reef that runs almost the entire way with calm lagoons to swim in, whale sharks, turtles, national parks with natural spring gorges, camel rides along the beach, beautiful red dirt running tracks with native gum trees, and beautiful warm weather! ☀️
My ultimate ‘road’ trip would be following the Tour De Manche costal route through Devon over to Brittany and Normandy and back via Dorset. Beautiful scenery in the UK and France, soaking up the culture and sights. Definitely on my list of things to do.
Scotland! Up to the Isle of Skye and the north coast, cracking roads and amazing places to wild swim. I love how open and natural it is.
Of course it would be a Roadtrip with the bike through Germany up to the sea, just because to see all the beautiful landscapes of my home country
A road trip down to the coast of California! Not anything windy unique but a true American classic 👌🏻
My ultimate road trip would be around Australia. The beaches, the outback, the wildlife it’s all so stunning! Lots of adventures to be had over there!
Go to road-trip would most definitely be the Lake District, such a magical place with beautiful scenery and lots of stuff to do!
I went there a lot as a kid and am instilling the same love of the lakes into my daughter as well, what’s not to love with lake swimming, some cracking cycle routes (both on and off road!) and trails to run on 👌🏻
Bucket list is a multi-day cycling trip with a SAG camper van around Taiwan cycling route No.1. It runs the entire perimeter of the island, a bit over 600 miles, with some absolutely gorgeous views, particularly on the eastern portion.
Very cool!
I think I'm the second one to pick Iceland. There is only one Highway around the island and the lakes have the most crystal clear water you will find on the planet. Some lakes have ice cold water, while other lakes are thermal heated, so ideal to check out with the Roka wetsuits.
My ultimate road trip would be to through Norway. The most spectacular breathtaking scenery and the air just hits different there! Although you'd have to be prepared for hill....
