Cool. Hope to see you guys there.

 

i love that whole region so most likely you'll see me there

 

Bump!

 

I went the the Rendezvous back in October, and I've got to say there are some amazing ppl and rides out there. If I had the $ I'd roll out this time. Free bump for a great guy/group!

 

The Rendezvous is really gaining alot of steam this year folks and looks to be our best outing to date. Between the trash cleanup, the Desert Challenge, the raffle, the meal by OVG and happy hour this is going to be HUGE!
