I too attended the Nutmeg Nor'Easter. It was fantastic connecting with so many Riv friends. In addition to existing friends I met Anton with the orange Cheviot with Bosco Bars, my friend Al from Saratoga had the other orange Cheviut. I met Alex from Yellow Haus bikes with his very cool MIT Atlantis. I met a guy named Mike who moved East from San Francisco. He had an Atlantis that he had converted to disc brakes. It was such an awesome looking bike. Mike had stories of riding with Will, Roman, Kevan, Spencer and Jay. Ronaldo Romance was a most gracious host. He and his fellow Nutmeg Country Emissaries where so kind and gracious welcoming us into their back yard with open arms. My weapon of choice was my Albatross'd 2TT Sam Hillborne. Next year I'll ride my Appaloosa just to have the luxury of fatter tires on some of the more rugged off road sections.
What made this rice enjoyable to me was the people I got to hang out with. I don't go to cycling events anymore because they have become to much like a race. This was not that at all. Super fun yet challenging course, a beer stop along the way, idyllic New England coastal towns and low traffic. There were no egos, no testosterone fueled pacelines and nobody demanding that I perform a certain way. Just a bunch of bike camping/ commuting/rando loving, normal clothes wearing bike nerds. In other words people just like me! The icing on the cake was the amazing wood fired pizza after party served under a gorgeous sunset over the Long Island Sound. This was one of the best days I have spent on a bike ever! I hope this event continues into the future.
