Anyone up for a Boso ride?
What: Boso ride to the coast
Where: Boso Peninsula (Chiba Peninsula)
Start and End Point: Honda (誉田) Station on the 外房線 (JR Sotobo Line)
When: Monday, Oct 10th, rollout 9:30 AM sharp, back 5pm latest
We haven't done the coast for a while on a Boso run, so thinking of doing a dash to the coast. Something likes this, but using the flatter return through Otaki:

This is just an example--I'll post the final route map when I get a chance on the weekend. Thinking Lake Takataki > Yoro Gorge > Rt 81 to the coast, then 285 > 178 > Otaki > 147 back to Honda. If the group is small and time permits maybe do some rindos as well.
Not super fast by any means, but we'll try to limit the stops and keep a decent pace for the ride. Not recommended for absolute beginners.
In so far:
