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.

NYC 177K Populaire Closes Out 2008 Season on Sunday, October 12th

Starting at 7 a.m. from the George Washington Bridge bus station in Manhattan, the NYC Populaire is an excellent choice for those interested in trying a brevet for the first time. Slightly longer than a century at 110 miles, and traversing a highly scenic route that crosses the GW Bridge into Bergen County, N.J., then heads north of the NY border to Greenwood Lake and Harriman State Forest, this is a challenging ride. But it is a good 15 miles shorter than the typical entry-level 200k brevet. The cutoff time is 6:48 p.m. As always, lights and reflective gear are required.
