Surpisingly decent Santa suits can be had for around $20 at Walgreen's.

Thanks, Martin!

about how far/fast do people ride? i'm pretty new to biking and pretty new to snow ... REALLY new to biking in snow ... so i'm a little nervous about lagging behind.

not to betray my people, but santa biking looks a lot warmer and more comfortable than dreidel biking.

it isn't easy being chosen.

LOL. I was an elf the first year, but last year had to represent.

It starts at Twisted Spoke on Ogden to Binnys on Grand to Daley Plaza to Water Tower.
It's slow very short with frequent stops to heckle the holiday shoppers (and be heckled at).

Chris,

The two years I participated I didn't see anyone throwing paint on fur coats.

Just trying to figure out if this is one of those rides where we throw paint on fur coats and/or ride down the Kennedy.

I've discovered that not all Walgreens carry the Santa suits. Better call around. Maybe someone can start a thread of those Walgreens that do.

I haven't had this much hair on my head since Carter was President.

The one on Armitage and Albany (just east of Kedzie) had 4 a few days ago. I doubt they're flying off the shelves so I'd imagine at least a couple are left.
