Is this NZ's most popular trail? Dunstan trail. 

Wow I can't wait to ride that trail, thanks for sharing, love yr videos so much, you've inspired me to do the motatapu next march!!

Love the videos, keep up the great work/holiday

Godzone, we are so lucky to have these trails & there is so many with such fantastic scenery, loving the series,keep it up sir.

as an experienced caravanner I am looking forward to see what you have done with yours !

Very nice Vid. It looks so beautifull there in NZ. Cheers mate.

I rode that trail 18 months ago, from Clyde to Bannockburn, a stinking hot day but I had a blast including a totally unexpected ice cold beer at Carrick Vineyard. I was nervous beforehand after watching RU-vid videos, but then realised that GoPros use a wide field of view whereas you tend to ride a bit blinkered so the constant drop-offs weren't intimidating at all. I was riding against the flow, but had no problems, and everyone I met was very friendly. Great video Lance, it's brought back great memories.

Wow! Coffee on the lake. Good thing you didn't forget the wallet... You have the most beautiful trails. Can't wait to hear the trailer story 😄

Great to see a decent video of this, most are bumbling and boring. I rode this solo last November, almost nobody else around. The ride on to Alex is easy and picturesque, worth doing. None of this is challenging, but in winter it could kill you. St John paramedics attend a reasonable number of injuries on the trail. Usually people doing what that guy you picked up did.

Great vid. Your lovely wife looks as if she could send it.

The mystery of the caravan what happened? Where did it happen? Do we really need to know or is it always gonna be a mystery?

Up the breeze!

How do you rate the merida Lance? Have just brought an e140 for my wife. I'm a bosch fan but the merida was a pretty good price

You owe me a dollar okay. I made a bet that Mrs BDE COULDN'T go past the coffee stop and sure enough she couldn't. Sorry Lance I can't buy it. One breath you are "I'm still young everyones older thn me." Next breath you are Ohhhhhhhhhhh I need a back stretch. Yeah thats getting old.

Fantastic scenery , amazing spell of weather for your trip too . Like your "feel young " comment , I get the same feeling when I'm out riding . About to tick over 64 years , still riding an analogue MTB & I'm the fittest I've ever been . Yes , I still feel young

Great to see some no hi viz or bike stand riders 😊

Yes. Still young.

8:00 what i found with the older people it can be abit strange...sometimes might be pissed off if you help them or exactly what he said "im fine" this older lady was like that in rotorua 🤔🥴

I'm so young I feel so young, ohh my back is so sore

Lovely video, just watch your video ebiking Queens town bike park in the winter. I’m going to the South Island in late June to do a road trip and was looking to do some biking/emtb to fix my addiction😂. Your videos are putting ideas in my head but was wondering if you have any other recommendations as it would be peak winter and I have a feeling it isn’t ideal conditions. Also unfortunately limited to renting the bikes but since this my first time in NZ didn’t want to miss the opportunity. Thanks!

you're still a hooligan on a freeride bike...... It's funny, I ride with my young 30 year old cousin, and he has figured out the hard way, not to take my lines (the fun lines)

How many cats can you swing in those showers at the BB Camp ground? Pretty awesome eh!🤣🤟 Sic trail, I ride it on my steam bike mate, E-Bike come on its a doddle, Big Wig 29er eats that for breakfast! You think its busy now that trail wait to summer, its a freaking Auckland traffic jam peak hour at Spaghetti Junction! I hope you were nice to Martine @ Camp Boss! (SHES A LEGENED) and who did you get picked up on the shuttle return to CML? I see Hemy at Dunsta Bike Trails picked ya up, another legend and his service is unparalleled he goes above and beyond with a smile, plug plug! seriously never a problem. And did you get a Coffee at the elusive Robs Coffee bus in Alex by Centennial Park, he's only there to 12midday! Some say his coffee is only a myth and he doesn't exist a bit like the the elusive Central Otago Panther that's rumored to have been sited in them thar hills! Also rumored to only attack e-bikers but no one has lived to tell so that's unconfirmed! But legends are built on fact so if ya know ya know! I do want to hear more on the Caravan, brake related? wheel nuts? Forget to put ya bungs in before water crossings? 🤣

Give Clutha Gold Cycle Trail a go. Good for you both I reckon.

Wife and I rode from the campground at Bannockburn too - and stopped at that vineyard. Rode to Clyde and back in a day. On acoustic. Cool track, too many rented ebikes with unskilled riders.

Yeah ur still young go hard as u can life’s short

I’m with you, 64 years young and still sending it, might get a kick stand when I turn 80😅

Wheres ya fishing rod big man, nah awesome

What is almost 90% of everyone equates to in percentage? Lol😅

I remember walking the original Dunstan trail before the flooded the Clyde dam to make lake Dunstan.

As you know Lance the video can't show the full beauty of this trail. I did it Christmas 2022 on a non ebike with my son, in the first stages of covid( ended up in hospital😂) but would definitely do it again but on an ebike.

Wow that looks amazing trail I love the view around the mountains etc . Those wooden pathways around the rock face looks really cool I’m probably one of those people that would stop around those trails and take pictures. So definitely looking forward to seeing you both on the next adventure in the South Island 😊❤

One minute you’re saying how you’re not as old as all the others and the very next minute you’re complaining about having a sore back😂😂😂

I did the Paparoa trail in February on a pushbike pretty hard going and turned into a bit of disaster when i took a wrong turn and went down the Pike 29 trail. Probably the best flow trail ive ever ridden. ebike would be ideal for the climbing to over 1000m
