On July 12 we went on our first ride with the Claremont Senior Bicycle Group (CSBG), a group for riders of all ages and skill levels. Jim saw a notice about the group in the local newspaper and we thought it sounded like a great group for us to join. So, the following weekend, we rode our bikes to the Joslyn Center in Claremont, their Saturday morning meeting place. This day was also their annual CSBG picnic which would take place after the ride.
Today’s ride was to Puddingstone Reservoir in San Dimas where we regrouped after riding from the Joslyn Center. Our leader this day is 85 years young!
First stop at Puddingstone
We made a brief stop somewhere along the path overlooking the lake…
… and re-grouped again for our first water break.

Some of us rode a second loop around the lake before heading back to the park at the Joslyn Center for the group’s annual picnic.
We enjoyed a delicious meal provided by one of the group’s members and became acquainted with several members we hadn’t met on the ride.
What a fun and interesting group of people! We look forward to many more rides and activities with them in the future.
