Super Randonnées are 600 km (373 mi) mountainous Permanents with an elevation gain of over 10,000 m (32,800 ft). The origin of the Super Randonnées is tied to the personal story of Sophie Matter. In 2008, she lives in Provence as an independent rider with a bicycle touring license from the local club of Carcès (Var). Since her third Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur in 2007, she is ready to take up new and ever harder challenges.
