The Trillium lake loop is a gravel route that is a nice ride; not difficult. Bring a GPS since a there are a few confusing intersections.
There is a lot of great riding around Government camp. OMTM put up a page on some riding there:

Ride part or all of it for a great adventure. A road bike with plump tires would work. I especially like the trail section on the south end of the loops (miles 18, 19).
