Description

Join dozens of besotted Santas as we tour the central shopping district of of our great city, spreading holiday fear, I mean cheer. This ride is a long standing and proud tradition. OK, some have called it shameful, but either way, at least it's long standing, so no half-a$$ed costumes will be tolerated. Full Santa regalia is strictly enforced, though Grinches and Elves may be grudgingly allowed. There are rumors that someone in a Grinch costume survived the ride once. There are also rampant allegations of Elf abuse, that I can neither confirm, nor deny at this time. Wear what you dare, but you have been warned.
Also beware of a fringe group of riders calling themselves "Dreidels" that have appeared in years past, with the goal of co-opting, or even commandeering our ride. Their costumes may seem laughable, but their tactics are sinister, and they are not to be underestimated.

I do not know if your route is planned, but you should make a stop at the afterglow cyclocross race at humbolt park

U'd think I will be cold but I bet you a beer I won't be!!!

nope, I just loved the naked santa.  And yes, I can afford that but I think it's a little chilly...

Weren't you the one that brought up the Naked Santa option?  I am sure someone will lend you a hat.

OK, I'm out.  I really cannot buy something new for this ride.  Thought it would be fun...

Got one of the $15 ones at Walgreens last night. It's pretty chintzy...if it makes it through the entire ride, then I'll be happy. And I shouldn't stand near anyone smoking on Saturday because it looks like it will go up in flames.

I have to wonder whether the nekkid Santa pics below have something to do with the "not attendings" on the right.

I'll be there, but late.

I'll go look at the "Eye Candy that Causes a Crash" thread...that will help.

I sure wish I hadn't seen that picture!

 

Um . . . try a cold shower maybe?
