Picture of the Month

Nine riders regroup at the top of the Tunnel Road climb, the fourth of the four big climbs on the Practice Ride held under mostly sunny skies on April 5, 2008. Despite a gloomy forecast, more than 20 riders showed up in Frenchtown to ride the middle 54-mile section of the Princeton 200k, scheduled for April 19, 2008.

The May 17, 2008 Princeton 300k: An NJ Rando Tradition

Of the four standard brevet rides in our series (the 200k, 300k, 400k and 600k), only the 300k has retained its route virtually unchanged from the beginning. Since 2002, riders have enjoyed perhaps the most scenic course in the series, with memorable climbs up Ryan Road, Jenny Jump State Park and Schooley's Mountain. As with the 200k, this ride features its share of climbing, but it also has flatter sections in which riders can make up time. The 187-mile course has a 20-hour time limit. Registration opens at 3 a.m.,, with a 4 a.m. start at the Princeton Forrestal Village in West Windsor, NJ. Front and rear lights and reflective gear for the midsection and ankles are required.
