Thank you for being part of Santa Cycle Rampage!

Mark your calendar for December 6th, 2025 in Milwaukee and December 13th, 2025 in Madison and jingle all the way through the holidays!

Thank you to all the riders who registered and rode in both of our record breaking events in Milwaukee and Madison this year!

Milwaukee’s ride had mild temps climbing into the 40s and saw continued growth of participants. We hit 2000 registered riders, the most ever! Some last minute route changes made the route a touch longer than in the past but everyone took it on with joy. We spoke with riders who flew in from Denver, CO and drove over from Dubuque, IA as this ride continues to be a regional draw and must attend event.

We also had the 2nd year of the Elf Cycle Frenzy, with about 100 young kids and families taking a shorter family friendly route through Bay View ending at Cafe Centraal with hot cocoa and snacks for the young ones.

The Madison ride continues to grow and this year, again likely due to some mild temps and continued past riders inviting a new friend, we reached the 300 riders mark! We are very thankful to the folks at Breese Stevens Field for being our meeting point and welcoming riders to congregate on the field. We spoke with folks who made the trip to both rides! And some that missed Milwaukee so they came over to Madison.

For both rides we will continue to tweak and improve the experience to ensure it is a fun and safe day for all! Thanks for rolling with us and cheers to a safe and Happy New Year!

Santa Cycle Rampage is a fun way to raise critical funds that support youth and family based education and encouragement programs in Milwaukee and Dane Counties. Both these programs have a match requirement and the funds raised at these events provide critical financial support to our programs that help kids and families get riding safely and more often!
