Ben's Cycle Rides at Levis Mounds on MBC Grit

We at Ben's Cycle ride what we sell, particularly the Milwaukee Bicycle Company bikes we make. 


Dan's Grit on Levis Mound
From Matt taking the prototype Fugitive, the MBC gravel and touring bike, out for a 750-mile test ride, to Chris riding a Bruiser for his bike polo games, we use our experiences to develop bikes and improve our customers' performances. 

Last weekend, Dan took his Grit, the MBC steel 29er mountain bike, out to Levis Mound park to ride with some friends. Levis and Trow Mound trails in Clark County is some of the best mountain bike riding in the Midwest.

 
Dan said the trails were in great shape, and the Grit smoothly handled all the steep drops and climbing at Levis.

MBC Racers Score Podiums in Camrock WORS race

MBC Race Team rider Chip Way wins his
Citizen age group at Camrock WORS
Milwaukee Bicycle Company Racing Team rider Chip Way continued his impressive start to the WORS season. 

Way has now won the last two Citizen 45-54 age groups, at Crystal Lake and Camrock. At Camrock, he finished 13th of 199 starters in the Citizen class. 

"This is my first year so I wanted to get as much experience early on as I could," Way said.

Way plans to upgrade and start riding in the Sport class in his next race.

Comp rider Ron Knutkowski is now two for two in WORS podiums. 

On a tough, technical course at Camrock with a lot of climbing, Knutkowski was second in the 35-39 Comp age group and 10th overall of 67.

He previously finished fifth at the WORS opener in Iola. 

"I hope I can continue that trend," he said.  "(I'm) starting to feel fast again."

Comp riders Chad Tucker finished fifth in his age group (35-39) and Rick Walls finished ninth in his age group (40-44).

Walls also finished eighth in Comp age group at Crystal Lake. 

Victoria Pink, racing in the Sport class, won her age group at Crystal Lake as well. 

At Camrock, Citizen racers Sam Adams finished 14th and William Bayley finished 17th in their 35-39 age group. 

Milwaukee Bicycle Company Racing Team is based out of Ben's Cycles in Milwaukee. We ride mostly mountain bike and cyclocross and race on Milwaukee Bicycle Company bikes.
