Making money on cycling

Today's ride was a good one...I made eleven cents!! That is, I found a penny and a dime in two different parking lots during stops in our Sunday 54-mile odyssey. I'm pretty good at that. I can spot a coin in a parking lot quicker than most people. My biggest payday was when I found 65¢...two quarters, a dime, and a nickel...in a church parking lot. I tell Jonnene that this bike riding thing is paying off, although it might take about five years to collect enough money to buy a pair of riding gloves! Does this make me a professional cyclist?

It was a busy weekend, as far as the bike was concerned. I totaled 107 miles for two days of riding but my legs felt lousy for the most part. Last Saturday I knocked out 73 miles like it was nothing but this weekend it felt like I had no power and my legs just ached mostly the whole time. I could keep up with everyone but it was an effort to do so. Jonnene had some PT credit classes she had to take so I did my riding and some work around the house both days. The leaves are falling constantly and I'm raking them up constantly. I think the leaves are winning the battles but I'll win the war...eventually....I hope.
