The Vineman Ironman begins at Johnson’s Beach in Guerneville, just 3.9 miles from Westside Lodge, and the bicycle leg of the race actually passes by Westside Lodge, just past riders turn off River Road onto Westside Road!
If you are planning to attend the Vineman Ironman or Barb’s Race as an entrant or as a spectator, Westside Lodge is an incredible place to make your home base. Summer weeks rent from Wednesday through Wednesday, allowing for some practice training before the big event on Sunday the 17th.
