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.

NJ Randonneurs Hosts Another Flat 600k Friday July 11, 2008 At 10 P.M.

Yes, that's right. This year's 600k has a starting time of 10 p.m. on a Friday, July 11, 2008. The start/finish point is the parking lot beside the former PNC Bank (recently closed) off Main Street in Cranbury. It is opposite Teddy's Restaurant. This route is roughly the reverse of last year's Hightstown 600k (doing a clockwise loop of South Jersey this time), with a starting time moved up six hours, to 10 p.m. on a Friday night. Event organizer Laurent Chambard is giving riders a chance to get acclimated to the 10 p.m. starting time of the PBP 90-hour group and to experience riding two nights back to back. This course, like last year's, is almost completely flat. There will be a daytime sleep stop (Laurent calls it a "siesta stop") in Sea Breeze at mile 205 of the 375-mile course. Front and rear lighting and reflective gear are required.
