Jeff DesRoches

Test of Metal

Rider Profile

Name: Jeff DesRoches

Where are you from?
Squamish, BC

Why are you doing the test?
To prove that I am faster than my friends! Actually I love racing so just to get out there and pedal is what I'm looking to do.

Have you done the Test before?
Nope, although I've ridden the course in my head hundreds of times!

What are you looking forward to the most?
My legs burning, 9 mile hill and the screaming crouds!

What are you dreading the most?
Having a technical (I hope I didn't jinx my self) or taking more than 4 hours!

What kind of frame do you ride on?
Specialized with lots of parts swapped out.

Do you have an inspiring rider?
Now where to start?! I try to learn a bit from every rider. But right now, my little 2yr old nephew and his runner bike inspires me. He walks around my sisters house saying "ride-a-bike, ride-a-bike"!

How are you preparing for the Test?
Two words: Logging Roads.

How will you celebrate afterwards?
With a few nice cold Rickards Whites!
