LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The 27th running of the Konocti Challenge cycling event is set to occur this Saturday, Oct. 7, around Lake County.

This event, produced by the Rotary Club of Lakeport, brings in hundreds of cyclists and their guests into Lake County to participate in this very unique and fun event.

It also brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars to our economy not to mention showcasing our area for the cyclists to come back and visit at other times during the year.

Organizers ask that drivers please watch for cyclists and give them the required three feet of room.
