Most organized rides are on Sundays...at least where I live, along with most races. As I also pointed out in a previous and apparently ignored post, Sundays are typically the only day of the week they can probably spend any time at all with their families. I don't own a bike shop, but have worked in quite a few and have friends that do own them. I do own a small retail business and am very well aware of the demands and limitations of making a living in the retail sector. If you don't work or haven't worked as a small business OWNER you probably have little or no clue what really goes on.
