This one is fine for any bike with a tire 25m or wider. It is fine on a hybrid or mtn bike, and you could tear it up on a cyclocross gravel grinder as the surface is crushed gravel. 

There are no stores en route but you could venture across bridges to Bound Brook and Princeton if needed. Otherwise, carrry water and food. Lunch in Princeton, where you could end this ride, would make a fine day trip.

NJ Transit out of NY Penn Station to New Brunswick, there are no bike permits, it is not an issue. Return from Trenton, on the same line out, but 3 stops further than New Brunswick.
