The route and Honda station will familiar to anyone who did the Hilly Boso and Backroads Boso rides last year. Basically Hilly Boso in reverse, going to the coast via 81 rather than the 178, with a few modifications: an extra uphill section on a rindo loop on the way down, a different (modest) climb back in from the coast, and, if we have time, another loop via 172 on the return to add another little climb and 10km or so.
Training-wise an easing off of the intenstity, but still a fairly brisk pace. An opportunity, perhaps, to work on hill sprints on the many rollers or to stretch out the legs on the long uninterrupted sections in the south.
Getting to Honda
By Train:
Kaisoku Airport Narita leaves Tokyo at 8:10 AM, arrives Chiba 8:49, where you can change to the Sotobo-sen for the 15 mins to Honda (9:08 arrival).
OR Keiyo Kaisoku leaves Tokyo at 8:07 AM, arrives Soga (蘇我) at 8:50, where you can change to the Sotobo-sen as above.
By Car:
4 kms from the Takada IC (高田) on the Chiba-Togane Expressway. Parking around the station.
By Bicycle:
You can also ride out; maybe Thomas and/or Travis can lead a group out, if you guys are coming?
