Bike the Milwaukee Mile this Wednesday evening, June 13th!
This is an exciting and unique opportunity to cycle on the Milwaukee Mile racetrack which is on the State Fair Park grounds adjacent to the Pettit Center. We hope to continue this use of the Mile, so encourage your training partners and bike riding friends to come out and support this event. The riders who participated so far say the one mile closed loop is a great venue to cycle and are excited to return. Here are some additional details below.
