We have just a few weeks until the Ride is here. We're sure some of you can't wait until you're seeing the finest views of Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin from your bike. Individual registrations will be accepted up until and including the day of UPAF's Ride for the Arts, sponsored by Miller Lite. However, the registration price will increase from $40 to $50 for adults on the day of the Ride. Also, the family rate will increase from $100 to $105. The easiest way to register is online at upafride.org. The date of the Ride is Sunday, June 5.
Ride t-shirt and packet pick-up will begin Monday, May 16 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. You can enter at 123 E. State Street in downtown Milwaukee and then take the elevator to the 4th floor between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday except for Memorial Day (closed) and Friday, May 20 (9 a.m. - 3 p.m. only).

| Volunteer for the Ride and get some Brewers tickets | |
We are looking for sentries to make the Ride go as smoothly as possible. Sentries direct the flow of bike traffic at their assigned intersection along the route of the ride. If you sign up for a sentry shift, we will give you two tickets and two t-shirts to UPAF Day at Miller Park which is Monday, May 23 when the Brewers host the Nationals at 7:10 p.m. Email Kaitlin Kropp at kkropp@upaf.org to sign up.
Click here for more information about volunteering for the Ride. Tickets are limited and when they're gone, they're gone so act fast.
