Celebrate spring and National Bike Month by securing your spot for the UPAF Ride for the Arts Series, presented by Miller Lite. The Ride Series is a new, innovative concept that provides a safe, fun, purpose-driven event for cyclists of all ages and abilities. This three-weekend Series, with events on June 6, 13 and 27, allows participants to register, ride and fundraise with confidence in an event that has been approved by the Milwaukee Health Department. Participants can choose their path and ride at their own pace to or from one or all three “Ride Series Reward Stations.”
The Series will take place on Sunday, June 6, at Veterans Park in Milwaukee; Sunday, June 13, at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield and Sunday, June 27, at Coal Dock Park in Port Washington. Participants can park and ride from each Series location or choose their own route and bike to the Ride Series location, each being on local bike paths. Upon arrival at the destination, participants’ bike bibs will gain them entry to travel through the “Ride Series Reward Station” where they will enjoy performances from UPAF performing arts Member Groups, receive their reward of a drawstring backpack filled with premium swag and take a selfie with the 15-foot inflatable bike for a chance to win prizes. Wheel & Sprocket, the official bike shop sponsor, will be on site at each location to provide bike services for participants.
