Snow fighter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada : Jean-François Le Strat



Jeff Le Strat is the toughest Focale 44 rider known so far. He lives in Montreal, he's been riding a Relax bike, named Pier Jackez. He says he rides 100 km a day (around 60 miles) to discover all areas of Montreal. He started his "trip" early november 2010. Obviously, that is a good test for our bikes. Jeff did not send us the parts list of his bike. Pier Jackez seems to be quite a stock bike, except grips.
Bravo Jeff pour ce courage.
