This weekend, Jerome and I will attempt the Fuji SR600. What is an SR600? It is a course of 600 kilometers and at least 10,000 meters of climbing. To qualify for "credit" as a randonneur, one must complete it in 50 hours (10 hours longer than a "normal" 600km Brevet, to accommodate the extra climbing). In this case, since there is EVEN MORE than 10,000 meters, the time limit is 52 hours.

| The course looks spectacular |

| The climbing is daunting, with 2 passes of more than 2100 meters elevation, and a whole bunch just a little bit lower. |
At least the weather seems reasonably cooperative -- not too cold on the high passes, not outrageously hot in the low valleys, and no segment that is showing (24+ hours before the start) a greater than 30 or 40% chance of rain ... after two or three very wet weeks!
