Not sure if you follow Ron from Ron’s bikes on instagram. He is certainly a character but big in the bike packing world and now that he and his wife run a bike tire business and bike bag business they have settled in hadlyme. I would try messaging Ron @ultradynamico or @ronsbikes on insta. Each October he runs a bike backing meet up called the New England Nor Easter that draws people from out of state so I bet he has some recommendations for ya.
