The Lost Elephant Ultra Race is nestled quietly between the Purcell Mountains and the Southern Rockies in British Columbia’s East Kootenay Region. The route changes year to year and for the last few years has offered a Jumbo (longer) and a Dumbo (shorter) version. These routes are generally pretty rough and gravel bikes don’t get along well with them.
