Tripper...dam kid I thought we were working through this depression of yours...?

Rudy..awe tripper..I’m not depressed, I’m just kinda in a funk, you know just indifferent..

Tripper bout what? Looks like you had yourself a pretty radical weekend,..

Rudy, what makes you say that..

Tripper..jeez you made the trip, and you got a chance to experience the Big show..

Rudy..oh you mean the Belgian Waffle thing?

Tripper..yessir another great event..

Rudy..I don’t think so Tripper, I mean it was promoted while, and run in a pro like manner, but despite the appearance of a few select, it was kinda of a disappointment..

Tripper..why is that Rudy...?

Rudy..Tripper well I follow a lot of the cool kids on my social media and wasn’t getting lit up. My Strava feed looked like a normal weekend. And I think the whole event lacked the excitement, and hoopla I was anticipating. I mean the finishing chute looked like a ghost town, and I didn’t get that 200 dollar vibe I was expecting. I didnt see Dan Yankus, but I did see Craig Webb...it was an odd batch of Michigan riders...think the event was promoted solidly, but I just gotta believe the BWR folks felt a tad dissatisfied with the Miscene turn out.

Tripper..I dunno rabbit what you were actually expecting?

Rudy, you know the Barry Roubaix Vibe...ICEMAN..rubbing elbows with social media icons, and Miscene legends..

Tripper, well young Rudy. Welcome to the true world of the Michiganscene, this isn’t a stab of hate or typical blanket of shade, but gravel racing is doing the same thing cross did, and factor in you had a whole  slew of other events going on in around Themichiganscene area, there are only so many riders, and dollars to be moved around.

Rudy, I never really thought of it that way Tripper...so you think the BWR folks will make a return? 

Tripper..to early to tell Rudy, but let’s hope so..it’s good for the scene..let me ask you a question though Rudy..

Rudy sure Tripper what?

Tripper was it worth the 200 pay to play..

Rudy, I don’t think so Trip...
