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 [400K] is a very flat, skinny 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 [300K] is a moderately hilly, circular 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 [300K] is a long, narrow loop south, through the Pine Barrens to the Philly suburbs in the southwest corner of the state and back.
Day Four [200K] is a hilly loop that heads northwest to the Delaware River and back, through small towns and farms reminiscent of New England.
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).
THERE ARE NO PREREQUISITES/PREQUALIFIERS FOR THIS RIDE.

NOTE: Brevets are long-distance cycling events for riders with experience riding on public roads. These events are NOT races! As organizers, our goal is to provide you with a reasonably suitable route, some support, and information before and during the event to help you have a safe and successful experience. However, the rides take place on public roads that are open to all traffic; therefore, we cannot eliminate all hazards or risks.
Your responsibility is to show up in appropriate physical condition for completing the event, with a bicycle in good working condition, to comply with all traffic laws, to comply with the requirements of RUSA and NJ Randonneurs, including rules governing lighting and reflective clothing, to respect the rights of all other users of the route, and to plan for the possibility of your not being able to finish the ride.
During any event involving open roads, accidents, collisions and incidents can occur that may result in serious injuries and even death. Although we cannot eliminate the risks, you can click on the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW (when available) for some recommendations on reducing them.
