The first night went well. I trolled the lakefront and riverfront areas a bit, picking up 2 ladies walking home from work. Made $5 on that one.

Went to the downtown area just as a performance let out. Picked up two elderly ladies who just wanted a quick tour. Made another $5.

Went back to the downtown, picked up another lady that needed a ride home (5 blocks) and made another $5.

I found out the next day from an employee at the performing center that the elderly ladies were talking me up pretty good. I believe the center will become a good source of revenue.

$15 for about 10miles and 2 hours of pedaling. Not great, but not bad either.

I'm contacting the local organizations about upcoming festivals, etc. Wish me luck!

BTW, the MainStreet rocks! I made it up the largest hill in town with 1 passenger aboard.

Just wait till you get the legs, you will look back & chuckle at that ride! can remember my first ride out & getting out of the base (which was at the bottom of a STEEEEEEEP ramp). My legs were full of pain & then got my first ride with three people which lasted for ever, as tryed to keep up with the 'older' riders. Keep going & you will be great! :D

thanks. i have been on a tight training schedule for the past month, it is helping. the legs get a little sore but nothing like the first few training runs.
