My First BIG Payday

I was pretty tired after Josh and Laura’s wedding, but it was mostly due to driving home on I-94 after a snowstorm with a bunch of people who don’t know how to drive in bad weather (go figure).  When Rose and I got back, we had a nice pile of mail waiting for us.  After sorting through a few dozen pieces of crap direct mail, I decided to open the big envelope with something lumpy on the inside last.  I had already guessed it was a plaque for having finished 4th in the Cat 4 field in the MATTS series.  I opened the envelope.  There was the plaque and there was a check for $84.  Holy schnikes!  A nice surprise, but pretty miniscule when you consider the big bucks spent on bikes and entry fees.  Still, it motivates me for next year.  I wonder how much money you get for winning the whole thing?
