The New Buffalo Soldiers – this year celebrating the 125th anniversary of the epic 1,900-mile Iron Riders bicycle expedition from Missoula, Mont., to St. Louis – are set to ride in the 56th spot of the Jan. 2 Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

Joining the group in the equestrian category are American Legion members Bobby McDonald and Ron Jones, who led commemorations of the famous ride last summer in Montana. The Iron Riders re-enactors, on replica bicycles and in full historic uniform, will lead the horseback entry in the parade.

The nationally televised event begins at 11 a.m. Eastern Time Monday.
