River District 12 is about building community, understanding who lives and works in our neighborhood, and meeting our neighbors and businesses to find out what type of amazing things are already happening here. This event was inspired by the Riverwest 24 Bike Race based in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI. The intention of this type of event is to unite communities through something as simple as bike riding.

Whether you enter, participate as a spectator, or decide to volunteer for this amazing event, come spend a day with your friends, and explore our beautiful city.

Get your teams together, tell your friends, and let's plan to spend some quality time riding together this summer!

This is an Urban Adventure! Be prepared. There are a number of things you will want to do to make your experience a good one. Visit our About and Urban Navigation pages to study the route map, and make plans for food, water, and rest.
