Grasshopper Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Ride Log April 10, 2021 Mount Elphinstone Provincial Park is located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. There are a few gravel roads that travel through the park and offer the locals a great place to adventure into the backcountry and play the day away. We ride there a lot during the summer and fall, but thought we would ride up there this Spring and see where the snow line was at. The tires on our bikes are not meant for snow in any way, so we go as far as we can. After some slip sliding around, we decided to turn around at 666 meters (more like our tires said, GO HOME SILLY ) . We will try again soon, as it is one of our favourite roads! Fun ride and great experience, I even managed to keep the rubber side down. A slipping and a sliding.... The forest did look beautiful with the fresh snow. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heated grips on full blast on my Himalayan with no issues and the bloke I bought it from admitted (after I transferred the money) the battery had been completely flattened. He’d gone away and his wife said the alarm was going off and she couldn’t stop it. Eventually it stopped of its own accord- cos the battery was knackered. Im still using that battery. Although it’s on an optimate when not in use so there’s that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
