The UPAF Ride for the Arts, sponsored by Miller Lite, is a large bike ride that supports our region’s world class performing arts organizations. Ride your bike by yourself or with a team for 5, 12, 25, 45 or even 70 miles in the state's largest one-day recreational bike ride – complete with Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown in attendance as this year's honorary Ride Chair. We've also rated it as one of the ten best bike rides in Wisconsin.
