nutmeggers in the desert
a bit late on this post, but what the heck, why not. as some of you know I had left the mild wildes of southern New England back in early March, and drove on out to meet up with a gaggle of Nutmeg Country Clubbers for a 9 day training camp down in Southern AZ.…

why an all metal sub 20lb mid reach road bike is relevant in 2024
well first off, because it’s my latest obsession turned passioné. much like a good olive oil — its the flavor that makes the dish. the flavor I am talking about is the much overlooked modulating maven of a stopper, the mid reach road caliper. if you’d like a run down of the options of said…

Westward
well the time has come, or the time came … the ol’ but short nutmeg needleworks chapter of our lives is over. we got raked over the coals there at the end of it, and we nearly lost ourselves in it all, but as of last friday, we are officially through the smolders. Arya and…

a lot going on right now
the above photo is the closest image I could find taken in the past month of how life has felt for the most part. I wanted to share this past month’s challenges in video story form on YouTube, but my video making has been a bit distracted by the above image relating to how life feels…

shoulder seasons
it is really just getting kinda wintry here in southern new England —- we are only 10 miles north of the shoreline of far eastern Long Island sound — that body of water has a warming effect that creeps up the river and generally keeps things pretty snow free and ridable year round — with…

last gasp of the leaves ride
there is the ol’ time of year in New England (and other places but we aren’t talking about those) where the landscape seems to change overnight every night for a month and a half. im talking about oct 1st to Nov 20 or so — I love riding all times of year as it turns…

overnight from deerfield MA
hi everyone. remember when I used to camp 200+ nights out of the year off my bike? maybe you don’t, it was years ago at this point, but it was my lifestyle on the cheep for nearly a decade. it is also how I garnered enough of a following to be able to now squeak…

Yuusuke’s Alumalith custom build by LaRon
the custom build part of the biz is where the name “Ron’s Bikes” came from — but ironically it is what I have the least amount of time for these days. I will admit, even when I did have the time, this sort of process still took a lot longer than just plugging stock pieces…
