LAKE COUNTY ? The epic ride that is the Konocti Challenge takes place Saturday.
The annual Rotary Club sponsored biking event is now in its 19th year.
There will be four routes for riders of all levels of experience. No matter which route is chosen, there will be breathtaking scenery and clean air to aid the lungs. Rest stops are available and a chicken and steak dinner will be served on the shore of the lake.
The most difficult of the four routes, the 100-mile, will challenge even the most experienced riders. The route goes around Clear Lake and then goes up Cobb Mountain with an elevation change of 6,200-feet. It”s a true test of endurance and determination.
The 65 mile route will also go around Clear Lake. There will be a Family Fun Ride for those seeking a more leisurely route. It will be 19 miles round-trip, starting at the Lakeport Yacht Club where breakfast is served and then to the Narly Dude Ranch and back. Check in time is 9 a.m.
Those interested can register the morning of the event at 6 a.m. at the Lakeport Yacht Club on the shore of Clear Lake between Fourth and Fifth streets in Lakeport.
