Description

 

New Jersey Randonneurs' "GS1200" is a cloverleaf event based out of the East Windsor Holiday Inn near Princeton, in the middle of the state.
Day One is a very flat, skinny 400K loop down through the cranberry bogs and blueberry farms of the Pine Barrens to Cape May, in the southeast corner of the state, and back.
Day Two is a moderately hilly, circular 300K loop, northeast to the Jersey Shore, where you can view Manhattan from the highest natural elevation on the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to the Yucatan, then south along the highest concentration of ocean boardwalks in the US, and back.
Day Three is a long, narrow 300K loop south, through the Pine Barrens to the Philly suburbs in the southwest corner of the state and back.

This is an unsupported ride. There is no rider limit, but dependent on availability at the start/finish hotel (or one of the several nearby).

Randonneuring—non-competitive, long-distance cycling, where you follow a pre-planned route and attempt to finish within a set time-limit—is a great way to test your endurance, navigational skills, and fortitude.

Please Note: It is possible for riders to be out on the route beyond sunset. For those riders, lighting and reflective gear are required.

Please refer to the Rules for Lighting and Guidelines on Reflectivity
