Basil and I were planning a flat and fast run up and around Lake Kasumigaura in Ibaraki and would love company if anyone is interested in joining us.
Start: Sakura JR Station (佐倉) on the Narita/Sobu Lines. You could also take the Keisei out to Sakura as well and ride over.
Date: Dec 1st, Sunday. Edit: Rollout about 8:45 AM. Aim to be back at Sakura around 3:30.
Pace: Fast.
Route: 150 kms from Sakura to the west end of the lake, around the lake, and back via the Tone River and Inbanuma bike paths. Untrafficked bike paths for most of the route, just a couple of sections of busy road. Maybe a quick drink stop on the way up, soba at the 70 kms mark, one more combini stop after that.
Broad open vistas, chance for long stretches of head-down hammering. Nice change of pace from the hills for those in the mood.
