    From what I've seen of the crowds that attend the bike events and the amount of money taken in the owners do well.
    It's amazing how some places make it and others don't. Even around here a few restaurants are always busy while the others don't last, even those with good service and food.

    Love old towns. The floor of the bar is amazing. Imagine all those cowboys and farmers wearing muddy boots over the years and those girls in high heels.
    That dog treadmill would be good for people with kids. Kid power!
