Trucksan (David) and I were thinking of doing a Boso run this Sunday (July 5th). Would love extra company if anyone is interested:
When: Sunday (July 5th), about 9:30AM rollout. Back by 4pm (he says optimistically)
Start/End: Honda Station (誉田駅) on the 外房線 (Sotobo JR Line), Chiba
Route:

Similar to the original Hilly Boso, with a slightly different approach to the coast, but with the same climb up 81. One short foray up Daifukuyama to explore a rindo that I haven't ridden before and that should drop us back into the Yoro Gorge area (no worries if we can't find it, there is an alternate route out of the hills).
Only 125km, but very up-and-down, especially on the way back, so a bit harder than it looks. Moderate-fast road bike pace, sticking to the low-traffic roads.
Weather of course is a problem these days; we'll cancel if it looks like rain.
