New SR-600 route in the works

Prelim map of new SR-600 SoCal route

With the recent announcement by RUSA of a new and exciting challenge at the 600km distance, I figured I better check it out. It's called a Super Randonnee 600K Permanent and is ACP-sanctioned(vs. RUSA Permanents) Not only a distance of 600km(619km max) but must include at least 32,800ft of climbing. Mmmm, around SoCal that shouldn't be a problem. Ya, right!

After working on this off and on for 2 months, I finally sent in a SR Route to Crista Boras (RUSA Permanents Co-ordinator) today. Real tough to make a viable route under those parameters around here! It ended up being 618km and around 33,200 ft of climbing. I'm sure there will be some fine tuning in the weeks ahead. I'll keep updating as required here.
