2026 WoodSToc 4 - Aug 10-15, 2026 - Woodstock, NB

Yes, it was a great time! No rain worth mentioning, although some rain suits did briefly see the light of day, until it became clear they weren't needed. A couple of planned touring stops were well received, and are a worthy concept for planners to consider. As folks get older, there's less interest in high mileage routes. Lots of comradery comes from lots of conversation... Btw, coffee and pie work well! Also, a six day time frame, with Monday and Saturday being travel days, works. For some, trailering a bike, and allowing two days each way for travel, becomes necessary simply because of distance. Hmmm, I may have to do that for OhSToc next year!

On our way to River Run in Kingsclear on Wednesday, we stopped in for a tour George arranged of the Sabian Cymbal factory in Meductic.
It was very interesting and I learned a lot!

Some hot work going on in there

The art of hand hammering a cymbal

A few of their clients

And Obo mentioned Neil Peart, here is is favorite he tested

Then a stop for lunch and on to the camp
