- Fourforty is a bike park in East Auckland with shuttles to the top. It does however have a track that you can ride up some of the way. I decide to see how many trails I can access with my KTM e bike and whether it is worth the effort.

I'm one of those one eyed Woodhillers but been saying my lot should have a go at 440 for ages, this'll help! Would be keen to see how you dropped the bulk mate, great work!
You should definitely head out to 440. The location is stunning, the tracks are completely different to Woodhill. Will work on a weight loss video.
Hope the young lad heals up fine... Well done for helping.
I believe he needed surgery so hopefully recovers quickly.
Yup, lots of us need to hear your weight loss tricks...most were fit and skinny once upon a time. Then life reduced available time etc. Great result and effort man. Share the journey! Likely to help and inspire some of us other aging folks...
Ok will work on the video. Have been trying to think how to make it visually interesting rather than a sit and talk video.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Maybe do what you're doing here? Ride some trails and talk along with it. Or over the top so you don't need to tape a script to your bars.
I'm glad that mow is for Movember. Just sayin :) Good work on the weight loss. It's not easy as we get older.
Congrats on the weight loss. You looked so skinny at Woodhill last Wednesday, I second guessed that that was you parked next to me.
Go on tell us how ya lost the weight, gives the rest of us hope :D
Ok will work on a video but need to work on how to make it interesting. I'll give you a clue though. I ate less. Who would have guessed that would work.😂
@@bestdayevermtb2 Pretend that you did some hill sprints on the bike and just ate carrots n peas or something and then a biiiig kidding! ha
Would love to know how you lost the weight. :) might help a few similar aged blokes get healthier. Thanks
@@nicolecawood6268 Will put video out soon.
Awesome Lance. Will have to check that out this summer. Look like heaps of fun!
You will love it.
That is some awesome trails, someday I'll go to NZ!
NZ is a great MTB riding holiday.
Looking like a weapon…love to know how you lost the weight!!
Beautiful terrain. Thanks for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it.
I would be interested to know 'how a fat bloke lost 20 kgs' as you put it
You are surprisingly not alone. Will do my best.
Yeah, I was out a few weeks ago and that was taped off. I done a bit of a nosey and there’s a few fallen trees. No one told me and there is no signs up.
Keen to hear about your weight loss journey as trying to do that myself
Must admit I was thinking if 1 or 2 people asked me to explain the weight loss I would do it. I am surprised at how many people want to know my magical solution. I have been trying for decades with no success so will make a video. This may shock you, but I found out eating less helps. Bit more complicated than that but that is it in a nutshell.
Fantastic video Lance it’s great to see you can save money at the 440 bike park. I always thought you wasn’t aloud to ride up the road etc because of their safety concerns. Has for your mow it would suit you if you shaved the chopper look off and just have a ordinary mow. Always looking forward to seeing your next video
You still can't ride up the road for safety reasons. This is why you can't get to the top. This video shows what you can access. Looking forward to my shave on 1st December. I know my wife is.😂
Yup do the weight loss vid we could all benefit I'm sure 😂
Ok twist my arm. Can't guarantee it will be exciting viewing.
looking good Lance - for a sixties cop!
That is the look I was going for.😂
Those who say to get fit you should lose the ebike for a normal bike should take that one step further and add weight to their normal bike. The point is fitness comes anyway and especially if you can do longer duration in zone 2&3. The ebike extends how long you can ride without fatigue stopping you riding or your enjoyment.
Go E!
I agree 100%. Why don't people ride single speeds. You will get fitter and stronger on a single speed. Gears are for softies. If you sprint up a long hill on an e-bike it is definitely easier than a normal bike, but you can certainly get your heart rate right up there. I see a motor as another way of changing the resistance to pedaling. Is that not what gears do?
Well said
So awesome great ride and had did you loss the Weight ?I loosed 25 pounds 12 years ago at 52 what a difference it makes in everything you do!! Good on you !!
Am just making video now on how I lost the weight.
Looks great! Would it be worth heading out on a basic hardtail?
Did you say 20kg? Surely that’s worth a video!!
Ok will try to work on that. Not sure how I make it interesting but will try.
Lance I think your gloves are on the grass where you had lunch!
Thanks, but I didn't leave them behind. I still have them.
You are looking good, Lance, except for the weirdo "Movember" and good on you for doing it! 😉 Am interested to learn of your body fat shredding strategy! 😊
Will work on video for you. I am genuinely surprised how many people picked up on that comment.
Keen to see a -20kg video
Ok will work on that.
you know what they say, there's 2 types of riders. Those who like flow trails and liars...
Great video!
So true.
Have you got to pay an entry fee out there or just for shuttles?
You used to have to pay to ride the up trails, but they got rid of that this year, so it is now FREE.
Cool😅
Interest in the weight loss process, need to drop a few few myself
Will make a video with my few words of wisdom.
Peter Steven lookalike😀
Tell us how you lost weight, great video.
Ok. Will start working on that.
is this Lemmy from Mötorhead doing the vid today ??? or is it still you ??? cheers from germany, the santa cruz riding dentist !!!
Having second thoughts on the mo now but I will stick with it till December. We have raised a bit of money so far so have to stay the course.
Hi,lance whats your gopro setting on cloudy day and sunny day?
I probably shouldn't admit this, but I don't change the setting. I know I should, but I just never do. Can be an issue in dark forest trails.
Wow, you look great, not that you didn't before. I've lost just over 20kg and I don't look as skinny as you 😢
Well done on losing the 20kg. Not easy to do. The funny thing is my wife thought I looked better with some meat on me.😀
@@bestdayevermtb2 lots of people say that but it's just because they're not used to seeing you without it. Give it a few months, once she's used to it she won't even remember your "before"
Tell me how you lost weight please.
Ok, will make a video.
Damn looks like weight is just melting off you mate!!! What’s your secret? I need to loose weight too hahaha
Will make a video but not sure how to make it interesting.
@@bestdayevermtb2 hahaha I’m sure you’ll come up with something. All your videos been good so far 🤘
You look like a cool creepy weirdo! You asked... seriously though, great video, you seem to be pedaling that thing way faster and not panting as hard! Must be the weight loss.
Thanks, the cool creepy weirdo was the look I was going for. 😂
first
It's obviously pronounced 'peketua'
Some creepy weirdo!
I knew you would like it.😂
Creepy weido 😂
😂😂😂
You basically taught us how to use girl maths to justify buying e-bike
Good maths though.🙄
tapeworm 🪱
Don't give away the secret to my weight loss video.😀
