Matt's Tour Continues: Riding With Da Yoopers

Matt, our internet sales guy, is taking the Fugitive, Milwaukee Bicycle Company's new gravel/touring bike, out for a 650-mile test ride through Wisconsin and Michigan. 

He left last Saturday from Milwaukee, rode through Wisconsin to Michigan, around the tip of Lake Michigan, and is now cruising south. 

He sent photos of his trip through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Matt said Michigan state parks are awesome and worth a trip. For bike campers, the parks always make room, even if the campground is full. 

Fugitive Prototype Keeps Rolling Along

Sunset in the UP

Matt Hewitt, Ben's internet sales guy, is taking the prototype Fugitive on a 650-mile test ride through Wisconsin, around the tip of northern Michigan, then down along the eastern coast of Lake Michigan to Muskegon. He's sending photos and updates along the way.

No hands and bike is steady Eddie.

Don't Tell the Boss: First Look at Fugitive

So the prototype for the Fugitive, Milwaukee Bicycle Company's new gravel bike arrived at the shop yesterday to be built up and tested.



And maybe the boss told me not to take any photos yet. 


But maybe I got too excited about the bike, and maybe walked by when he wasn't around and took a couple of pictures of the Fugitive.

Maybe I was dreaming about long rides on rough roads in comfort with the steel fork, longer chain stays, raised bottom bracket, and disc brakes.


But if the boss sees this post, I'm going to ask forgiveness rather than permission. 



The Fugitive will be worth it.
