All that I've been to (a handful in MN and one in VA), were about the same size. I wouldn't say that they're fairly small - I'd say that they're just not the mega-stores that have become the norm, particularly in suburban and small-town America.

No before-dinner snacks or libation, just 4 ozs red wine night cap.
I have GOT to get rid of this belly.

Slow day. Everyone must be making their weekend plans to see the Knoxville Community Band concert + USA Cycling road national championships.

I miss having the U.S. pro road race championship here in Philly. Back in '87 or '88, when I was relatively new to cycling as an adult, I rode with the 7-11 and then Coors Light teams while they were out for spins the day before the race. It was a pretty funny scene. They were easily cruising along talking at around 23-25 mph while a string of rag tag locals were working at the edge of our abilities to stay in their draft. I'm not even certain I owned a cycling jersey at that point. Many years later I was fixing a mechanical on an MUP when Lance and the rest of the Motorola team whizzed by.

Like we’re unnecessary or something. Like we’re chopped liver or something.
