If staying at your own place is your fancy, then try out one of the VRBO’s or Airbnb’s that are scattered from Adel to Plush and on into Lakeview. Enjoy the local country hospitality that Lake County is so famous for.

With the hotels located in Lakeview, you are only 40 minutes away from the start line, but a stunning 40 minute drive that will be. As you travel from Lakeview to Adel, you will be on part of the road bike route and see for yourself this beautiful scenic byway. You’ll pass through forests, meadows and creeks to finally find the open desert where your adventure begins.
