Huntington Beach, CA 4th of July Parade Vintage Bicycle Ride
After 2 months of lobbying with the parade committee of Huntington Beach, CA for the Cyclone Coaster bicycle group to be in the parade we finally received approval this week. To our advantage the theme this year is a "Green Theme" The parade committee has a standing rule "No Bicycles" due to issues of the past but they say they are making an exception for us. With that said they have several rules we have to follow.
The majority of the details are forthcoming via mail next week and I will provide an update ASAP before the parade. The details will also be posted on the Cyclone Coaster web site as soon as they become available.
For those of you who do not normally ride with the Cyclone Coaster group you are welcome to join us on your Vintage Bicycle.
There is a mini ride planned for June 29th at 10:00 a.m. leaving from Starbucks on Main Street in Huntington Beach riding to Sunset Beach and back. This will enable those who still need shirts to pick one up. If you can't make it for the ride just stop by Starbucks and pick up a shirt at 10:00 a.m. There are M/L/XL shirts in gray available and there are M/L shirts available in brown.
What we do know:
1) We are each REQUIRED to wear a Cyclone Coaster shirt (Please let me know ASAP if you need a shirt. The cost is $15.00 each
2) We will have to ride in a tighter parade type formation vs. the Laguna Niguel Christmas parade where we were spread out at times
3) We can not allow any random riders from the community to join us
4) We can not throw candy
What we don't know yet:
1) Start Time
2) Staging Location
