Starting small, going big . . . .
My girlfriend did the whole Brevet series (200,300,400 and 600 km) and became a Superrandonneur.
She doesn´t like beeing called a Superrandonneuse.
Sorry, report in german language only, if you want to have parts translated, just ask.

Congratulations to your girlfriend ... that's how I did my first series. I did the first ride thinking that if it went well, I'd do the next, and next thing I knew, I had completed my 600K.

I can't understand a word of it, but the pix are great! Congratulations to the both of you! Those rides look like they traverse some beautiful areas.

Looks like you were extremely lucky with the weather. The guys up at ARA NordBayern in Osterdorf (DE) have had some awful weather for the 200k and 300k this year.
Congratulations to your girlfriend for doing it, this is quite an achievement! 6000m of climbing in the 600k, that's no small feat.

Did anyone else notice the gradient of that one climb? Brutal!
