Just want to let you know what a great day I had at the Rendezvous.
Wonderful weather, track, organization, and camaraderie. Many thanks to you and all
the other organizers!

Let me tell you that I had the BEST seat in the house for watching the race.
For about 4.5 k, Chris Hegg and Dave Pramann put on a great show, dueling for
the lead. I was sometimes right behind them, sometimes as much as thirty
yards back. But wherever I was, they were in a nip-and-tuck, all-out battle for
the lead. Chris eventually pulled away; but for the first 18 minutes or so of
the race, I was treated to a magnificent contest.

I've watched lots of races on videos, but there's nothing like an
unobstructed "up-close, in living color" view of a hotly contested race.......D. Pederson
