Hwy 26 has a good shoulder. I don't think Trillium lake is all that special, but you could ride towards Hood River or Timothy Lake on paved roads.
It'd be nice to ride from Government Camp to Parkdale or Hood River, especially if you had a shuttle to drive you back.

You may want to bring your mountain bike instead.
I believe you can find some trails open to mountain biking near Government Camp. There's a real nice trail system near Mt Hood Meadows -
Look up Dog River Trail Oregon. Mount Hood Skibowl has a
bike park you may want to check out also.
There's plenty of hiking to be had if you want to leave the bike at home also. Check out Cooper Spur for an interesting hike.
