It’s the most wonderful time of the year—where spandex meets Santa suits and reindeer antlers somehow improve aerodynamics. That’s right, folks, the Santa Rampage is coming up, and if you’re not already dusting off your sleigh bells and questionable holiday leggings, consider this your official nudge.
For the uninitiated, Santa Rampage is not your average ride. It’s part cycling event, part holiday parade, and part rolling fashion show for the extremely festive. It’s also the perfect embodiment of Party Pace: the philosophy that miles are meant to be savored, friends are best gathered on two wheels, and no one’s in too much of a hurry to stop for hot cocoa (or something stronger).
At Get Miles, we’re all about this vibe—where fun comes first and nobody gets left behind, unless it’s on purpose because they stopped to take a selfie with inflatable lawn ornaments. Santa Rampage is less about watts and cadence and more about wondering whether you’re sweating because of the wool sweater or the holiday cheer. (Spoiler: It’s both.)
Why Santa Rampage & Party Pace Go Together Like Milk & Cookies
The Group Vibe: Party Pace means staying together, encouraging that one friend who somehow didn’t dress up, and collectively groaning when someone plays Mariah Carey again on their handlebar speaker.
The Stops: Whether it’s a coffee shop, a bar, or your friend Nancy’s house for cookies, Santa Rampage is proof that ride breaks are sacred. Bonus points if you can dismount your bike without losing a single jingle bell.
No Judgement Zone: Did you wrap yourself in battery-powered Christmas lights? Show up in head-to-toe tinsel? Good. Santa Rampage is where you lean in. Hard.
Bonus: Outfit Ideas That Won’t Slow You Down (Much)
Classic Santa: Red suit, white beard, and a belt that’s more decorative than functional. Pair with a helmet cover that looks like Santa’s hat and practice your Ho-Ho-Hos in the mirror beforehand.
Reindeer Rider: Brown base layers, antlers on your helmet, and a red nose on your handlebars. Add bells for that galloping effect when you hit the cobblestones.
The Overachiever: Go full sleigh—attach cardboard reindeer cutouts to your bike and recruit friends to ride “behind” you as elves.
Festive Elf: Striped tights, a green jersey, and pointy shoes. The shoes are optional because, let’s be real, clip-ins are unforgiving.
The Human Christmas Tree: Green layers, garland wrapped around your frame, and ornaments dangling for extra flair. Just don’t wipe out—glass bulbs aren’t as durable as they look.
Remember, Santa Rampage isn’t a race. It’s a vibe. It’s a chance to celebrate the season, the miles, and the friends who make it all worthwhile. So throw on something ridiculous, set your pedals to party, and let’s jingle all the way—at a reasonable, chat-friendly pace.
