Just wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me for a mid-Boso ride on the 14th (Saturday, NOT Sunday, which is TEAM OSOI's Tokyo Pottering day).
Course would be something like this:
http://www.mapmyride.com/route/jp/sakura/984500927383
Route takes in the Inbanuma cycle path up to the Tone River, down the Tone River to route 79, then round the far side of Narita airport all the way to the coast, and then back up the valleys of Sammu-shi to Sakura. About 120 easy kms, mostly flat, with a few low rollers in the hills either side of the airport. Not quite as scenic as southern Boso, but rural and with minimal traffic.
Thinking a moderate road bike pace. Might be a good ride for first-timers and lurkers, especially if you're on the east side.
Start time would be 9:30-ish from JR Sakura and/or Keisei Sakura.
If JR Sakura, you could catch the 8:22AM JR快速すいごう from Kinshicho and go straight through Chiba with no norikae, arriving 9:14 in Sakura.
You could also ride out from Funabashi on Rt. 296...
