Santa Cycle Rampage is a slow roll-style, police-escorted route with two main ride start options that end at the Bike Fed office (187 E. Becher St., Milwaukee):

1. Join the start and ride a full loop ride from the Bike Fed office and back. ~13 miles
2. Join the Rampagers at Hollander Grand Cafe on Downer Ave and ride the 2nd half. ~6 miles

Explore the draft Ride Route (subject to change prior to Dec 6th due to weather conditions or construction issues or other unforeseen circumstances).

Returning due to popular demand is the 3 mile very family-friendly ride, the “Elf Cycle Frenzy,” led by our Safe Routes to School instructors. Riders will leave from the start/finish line immediately after the main ride leaves to ride through the Bay View neighborhood and return for hot cocoa and snacks at Cafe Centraal. Participants may register for this fun event in the same way as the main ride and stay tuned for more details emailed to registered riders.
