Nutmeg Noreaster Vol 7 with Ron’s Bikes in Killingworth, Connecticut

Save the date! we have a legit venue in a very quaint camp this year — more on that to come along with registration when we get our acts together. Just know you are coming to Killingworth, Connecticut for the last drips of peak New England foliage October 20-22! 🍁

Here’s a little about Ayra and Ronnie of Ron’s Bikes from their website: Arya is the head of operations at Nutmeg Needleworks in Waterbury CT.  this is where our bags are made, and where we go to work most days.  Arya is really nice.

Ronnie is also LaRon.  All designs are LaRon brain waves.  Ronnie is typing this, so “i” will switch to first person.  Hi.  Now that Arya is busy with the business that makes our bags and other things for other customers, I am all things Rons Bikes Dot Com with the exception of half the shipping.

I also co own a tire company, ULTRADYNAMICO, and am an amateur semi pro photographer for hire.  I design a few handlebars and frames for crust bikes that are generally sold through crust.

I eat mostly beans, olive oil, granola, and dark chocolate.  I enjoy foraging for my vegetables.  I like riding single track more than most things in life, and it’s been like that since i was 13.  I play drums sometimes, and my favorite bands are Agalloch and early Opeth.  I grew up in Clinton CT in the 90s CT X HC scene and went to college to be a gym teacher and race mountain bikes in Durango, CO.  I never got to live my dream as a gym scholar racer, but my current reality was undreamable when being guided by my high school guidance counselor in 1998, so…. sometimes dreams end up better than dreams!

Arya and i have been happily married but not married for nearly 9 years now, and we live with their family in a 220 year old house in the countryside of the lower Connecticut river valley.  We hope to travel as much as you remember us traveling some day again, but for now we need to save up for our 2nd retirement!
