There’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than with a big community bike ride full of cycling Santas! Whether you live in town or are looking for a great time to visit the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, check out this episode of Pedal the Springs podcast to find out more about our Annual Cycling Santa & Chasing Santa 5k, coming up December 2, 2023 – and register at ChasingSanta.com. Listen to get a registration discount code.
It’s been an annual holiday tradition since the Buffalo Lodge became the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort 7 years ago. The first Saturday in December we trade in our kits for Santa Suits to ride a spread cheer through our community. The Cycling Santa benefits Christmas Unlimited and participants are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to help kids less fortunate in our community.
The ride has something for every ability, from 6 to 10 miles to the 22 mile full route. The routes travel along the Pikes Peak Greenway and are all relatively flat. The long ride continues through downtown Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City to the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort for a big waffle breakfast and party before heading back to the start. In this episode of “Pedal the Springs” we talk with the event organizer, volunteers and participants for all of the exciting details about the event.
