Two Wheels at a Time⁠ By Geoffrey Morris⁠ Photographer: Zac Autio⁠ @kce_adventures⁠ ⁠ The bike for this tour is the Specialized Como—a ten-speed, $4,000 electric bike. The cycling experience on an electric bike is very similar to a traditional cycle—only way, way better. You pedal the bike, downshifting for uphills, upshifting for flat terrain. There’s no throttle. There’s no noise. It’s cycling.⁠ ⁠ The beauty of the e-bike is the assist on the hills. Even in first gear on a traditional bike, a mild hill becomes a heart-pumping workout—an adventure killer. You huff and puff uphill at 2 mph, not the magic 12 mph provided with the electric assist. Says Daulong. “Electric bikes allow you to explore more, in less time, and with less effort. Some of the hills we rode up are really steep. An experience like that would be limiting with a traditional bike.”⁠ ⁠ Full story - link in bio ‘On Our Radar’ ⁠ ⁠ #Litchfieldcounty #litchfieldhills #lifestylemagazine #nwct #ctvisit #nwcornerct #explorect #visitct #connecticutgram #kceadventures #ebiking

A New Beginning By Joseph Montebello @joseph.montebello Photographer: Rana Faure @ranafaurefiberfoto @thepantryct Ackerman, who resides in Litchfield, grew up in Milton where his grandfather had a little store at the turn of the century. “My father followed the retail tradition, so I guess it’s part of my genealogy. After college I moved back home and began working at The Pantry.” For Ackerman it has been a labor of love and over the years customers have become friends. Employees whose first job was working there have gone on to start their own businesses. And in fact, he is delighted that the business will remain within The Pantry family.
