MKE REC and Near West Side Partners are excited to invite you to our first collaboration—a fun, family-friendly ride celebrating the end of the summer riding season!

Join us for the Food Truck Forty / Soul Roll, beginning with a guided tour of the Near West Side and points of interest along the proposed 30th Street Corridor Trail. Near West Side Partners will share information about the corridor plan while we enjoy a relaxed ride through the community.

The first portion of the ride is an approximately 10-mile, family-friendly ride at a moderate-to-slow pace, suitable for most riders. We return to Washington Park Urban Ecology Center for Pete’s Pops.

After the Near West Side tour, riders interested in extending their adventure can continue with MKE REC for an additional 30 miles, completing the 40-mile Food Truck Forty ride with stops along the way.

Meet: 8:30 a.m.
Roll Out: 9 a.m.
Location: Washington Park – Urban Ecology Center, 1859 N 40th St.
