On Saturday, June 19th, members of the CSBG gathered to honor the group’s beloved former president, Bill Anderson, with the dedication of a memorial plaque and a one-of-a-kind custom bike rack at the Joslyn Community Center in Claremont. Following the dedication, most members rode their bikes for one to two hours, then met at Larkin Park (behind the Joslyn Center) for the annual picnic. Bill Anderson was President of CSBG from 2007 until his death in 2009.

Bill joined CSBG in early 2004. He immediately became one of the most consistent and supportive riders on our weekly rides and it was obvious that he was one of our strongest riders. He was always ready to help with a flat tire or other difficulty. In 2007 he was designated to be our leader, because he was so capable and well liked by everyone. He was always an example, both in his riding skills and his concern for other riders. We will miss him a lot.
The Claremont City Council honored Bill with a moment of silence at their meeting on May 12.
