WoodSToc Aug 17-20, 2023 - Woodstock, NB

[Sunday Rider]

And the best part is NO MORE MEMES!

Will miss those for sure. But that means more time to come up with new ones for next year; is that even possible?

 

[Happy Rob]

Thanks to all for organizing Woodstock. Great people and great rides. Starting at 8am was hard, I’m on vacation!!!!
I’m still touring around NB and now in NS near Turo. Looking for a place to camp tonight and dry out. Been raining all day. Guess I’ll have to head to Cabot trail tomorrow. Anyone in the area ? Want to join me??
I already miss the memes. They flow out of OBO constantly in person.

Only if someone else picks up that task.

So I see you flipped the sheep back around. Are you wearing pants now too?

Also noticed your trailer somewhat looks like The Scream by Munch.

Ah yes, WoodSToc 2024... I'm thinking mid August again, 15th - 18th. Any comments? By that time, Obo will have his suspension perfectly suspended, and I'll have time to get any marginal road surfaces repaved! Most of us will be a year older, and the collective wisdom will see a vast increase. Or maybe its the level of senility that blossoms! That's when we don't care about what we don't know, I guess...
So unless someone has a better idea, that'll be the date! Maybe add an additional day, there's so much to see, and so many curves to master!

I put it in my calendar to check so I can make this one lol

Just landed back in the Holler - a long, hot, trek to say the least!

I can well imagine that Uncle Phil's primary activity for the next twenty or so hours isn't an activity at all, its sleeping! My friend, enjoy your well-deserved rest - its all part of getting ready for OnSToc!

How were the roads on the way back?

How were the roads on the way back?

Longer than usual - the heat stretched them ...

Saturday night dinner...

Saturday night dinner...

Names? I only know two of you guys.

 

[catcher]

Clockwise from left - Obo, Phil, Rob, Ken, myself, and Will.

Good to put faces to the names, I have met Phil, Rob and of course you George. My minds eye had drawn different picture of Obo, kind of pictured him as computer nerd with a pocket protector, the damage must have been done by the meme overdose. Looks like a fun bunch and I hope everyone survived Uncle Phil’s bear hugs without permanent injury.

Uncle Phil’s bear hugs

A man with bruised ribs has to be careful! Seems to me he was.
As for Obo, very capable punster, and there's nothing he can't say with a straight face.
Is Rob happy? Yes! Definitely a fun fellow to have as part of the party. He had only one complaint, although it did get repeated a few times, lol.
Ken's my neighbour, and my new best friend. Since I moved to NB, he's helped me get acquainted with local roads, and how they can best be ridden. Trust your tires, and your suspension!
There were more at the after dinner party. More food, fun, and frivolity! Everyone got taxied back to the Ho-Jo's just in time for midnight, thinking and dreaming about next year, and how sweet it is to be part of ST-Owners!

 

[Happy Rob]

Home safe and sound in Newfoundland. Now if I could only repeat at few puns/ memes I learned from an expert.
off to another Bike rally tomorrow. Smugglers cove on burin peninsula. But this one is only 5 hours away.
BTW I lost a 8 inch hubcap from my camper,on road from NB to PEI. Keep an eye out for it!!! Low
beam head light replaced. 4 min job. Just pushed in two tabs on the H4 and popped it in.

Yay!

(For those of you wondering that's the longest covered bridge in the world in the background.)

 

[Uncle Phil]

What it looks like on the inside -

 

[Obo]

What you can't see when riding, but can see when walking the side bridge, is the thousands of spider webs that are likely over a hundred years old.

They are as thick as mats at the peaks.

The lights in the bridge attract bugs, and we all know what loves bugs.... spiders!

Just catching up to post pictures -
