Weather permitting will be heading over to Chiba. Details as follows:
Start: Sakura Station (South Exit)
Day: Saturday Dec 8th
Time: Rollout around 8:45 AM, back 4 pm
Finish: Sakura Station
Pace: Moderate to quick road bike pace (average 30kmph+), with 2 stops so not recommended for beginners.
Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1957896
Distance: 170 kms
Travel details: Coming out to Sakura JR, the best option by far is the Shiosai Tokkyu (Special Express) which is direct out of Tokyo, no change at Chiba required. It's an extra 900 yen, but worth the change, in my experience:
JR特急しおさい1号
Departs Tokyo 7:37 (stops also at Kinshicho on the Sobu Line), arrives Sakura 8:24.
Other option:
JR Yokosuka/Sobu Kaisoku out of Tokyo:
7:24 out of Tokyo, change at Chiba to Narita Line (8:20). Arrives Sakura 8:38.
