I have enjoyed the Rendezvous often in the last ten years. Didn't make it
every year. I always like it when they have an autocross. I especially like
the autocross/speed-run combination when we are lucky enough to have an airport
site.
I'm a car guy and couldn't care less about golf.
My favorite feature of organized tours is a section where the route doubles
back on itself or runs both sides of a canyon/valley so the participants get to
see the other cars on the road.
Family scheduling is not settled yet, but I may be seeing you in Fargo.
