LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Registration for the 23rd annual Konocti Challenge is now open.
The popular cycling event will be held Saturday, Oct. 5.
Once again, the Rotary Club of Lakeport – the sponsor for the event – is offering an “early bird discount” for online registration through April 30.
Save $10 on your 40-, 65- and 100-mile routes if you register online by April 30, so don’t delay.
The Konocti Challenge is a fun-filled cycling event for all ages.
The challenging 65 and 100 mile routes encircle beautiful Clear Lake, while the more subdued 40 mile route travels up Lakeshore Boulevard through Scotts Valley and then around gorgeous Big Valley through Kelseyville and back to Lakeport.
They also have a family friendly 20 mile ride that children enjoy.
There are seven well placed and fully stocked rest stops located around Lake County.
All stops are manned by local nonprofit groups competing for your votes and their share of a $5,000 prize pool. This equates to themes, decorations and all sorts of crazy antics to get your vote.
In addition, they have plenty of support and gear support on all routes to assist riders, and the end-of-ride barbecue on the shores of beautiful Clear Lake at the Lakeport Yacht Club is something not to miss.
Register by Aug. 31 and get a free t-shirt, bottle and patch. All of this included in the price of your registration.
Also, back by popular demand this year is the Sunday Guided Wine Adventure with an emphasis on “adventure.”
Organizers also are looking for volunteers to help with the event.
All proceeds benefit the Rotary Club of Lakeport’s local and international projects.
