That would be amazing if Andy can get a Super Randonnee over here in the UK.
I rode one in the Pyrenees and it was proper.
His 50 hours is wrong. Basically, any 600 with over 10000m of ascent can qualify (see below) and has 50 hours to do it. More elevation gain = even more time. So, the one I rode had 15000m of ascent and had 60 hours.
So it would have mid 50s to complete it.
Calculating ascent on our little sharp up and downs seems harder than on 20-30km ascents in France. I believe Sophie (who runs them for ACP) ran the Pendle through the software they use and it was a no even though it nominally has 10000m of ascent.
