Milwaukee, WI, August 24, 2026 —
Milwaukee’s Near West Side is set to host the “Food Truck Forty / Soul Roll,” a new family-friendly cycling event designed to showcase the community and its amenities. The event is a collaboration between MKE REC and Near West Side Partners.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore the city on two wheels with two distinct ride options. A 10-mile guided ride will focus on the developing 30th Street Corridor Trail, offering a scenic route through the area. For more experienced cyclists, MKE REC is organizing an extended 40-mile ride. Both events are intended to be accessible and enjoyable for a range of participants.
The starting and ending point for the “Food Truck Forty / Soul Roll” will be the Washington Park Urban Ecology Center, a hub for environmental education and community engagement. This location provides a central meeting point and access to park facilities for attendees before and after the rides.
The event aims to bring residents and visitors together for a day of outdoor activity and community building in the Near West Side. Further details regarding specific start times and registration will be provided by the organizers.
