How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County's popular fall event, the Konocti Challenge bike ride, has been voted “Best Metric Century Ride of 2014” by readers of Cycle California Magazine.
The award is announced in the magazine's February edition, a copy of which can be seen below. The announcement is on page 7.
A metric century is a ride of 100 kilometers, or 62 miles.
The Konocti Challenge is hosted annually by the Lakeport Rotary Club.
Ride Director Jennifer Strong, in announcing the award to the event's supporters, noted that it was gratifying to be honored because of the many metric centuries, as well as the fact that the awards were decided by a vote of cyclists.
The event offers challenging courses of 65 and 100 miles that wind around Clear Lake and into the foothills, a 40-mile course through the north Lakeport area and a 20-mile family fun ride.
Strong said the award comes as the Lakeport Rotary Club prepares to hold the 25th anniversary ride this Oct. 3.
Thanks to the ride's new distinction, organizers are encouraging participants to register early.
