Thirteen CSBG members met at Claremont’s Memorial Park to ride in the city’s 4th of July Celebration Parade, the highlight of the 62nd 4th of July Celebration & Festival. The parade began at the corner of Indian Hill Blvd. & 10th St., moved south to Harrison then west to Mountain Ave., and ended at Larkin Park behind the Joslyn Senior Center. The parade had approximately 90 entries including bands, floats, specialty vehicles, musical and novelty groups, and dignitaries — including members of the CSBG!

Members wore their CSBG jersey and decorated their bikes (and, in some cases, themselves) with flags, streamers, stickers, hats, and other patriotic decorations. Riding about 2.5 mph, we rode serpentine or did circles in the street to the cheers of hundreds of parade watchers. One bystander raised her arms above her head, clapped her hands, and yelled “Claremont Senior Bike Group ROCKS!” Yes, we do!

The annual CSBG picnic took place on Saturday, June 19 preceded by a bike ride to either Shinn Rd. or Bonelli Park, depending on the riders’ preferences. After the ride, CSBG members and their families met at Larkin Park (behind Joslyn Center) for a wonderful picnic arranged by Kathy Pezdek and Joan Gerard. Prior to the bike ride, members of the group met in front of the Center for the dedication of the Bill Anderson Memorial Bike Rack. The picnic food included a sandwich buffet, Brie cheese and crackers, baked beans, homemade salads and desserts, and beverages.
