Could you do 600km in under 50 hours while climbing 10,000m?
The Audax Club Parisien think you can, so they put together this new ride format just for you. They put a lot of thought and consideration into this and drawn up some guidelines to give these events a bit of shape, hilly and long basically, or if you prefer "iconic routes through the mountains". You get the gist.
So since we prefer to ride on the wild side, that means getting off the beaten track and taking on some unsealed roads we've put together the Melbourne Randonneur version of the Super Randonnée and called it Victoria High Plains. Imaginative stuff. So here is the breakdown to compliment all the rules and guidelines that ACP have published on their website.
By the way no one has done this one yet.

High Plains Elevation Profile
This ride is extremely challenging not just because it is a Super Randonnée, but also because it contains a high portion of unsealed roads and passes through some remote territory. You should be confident of your ability before undertaking this ride.
The route is 625km long with ascent 10580m of climbing and 197.5km of unsealed road.
The official route is mapped on Openrunner.com This is the definitive source of altitude data for all the Super Randonnées around the world, so you can be assured that you are not being hard done by because all the other online mapping websites give different figures, since all the SR events are measured using Openrunner.com
