Sorry folks but this was indeed an April Fools Joke.

I'm still employed at the Chemical Plant. The only prize my wife won was me on her wedding day, though the quality of her good fortune on that particular event has often been questioned. I have not started up a Bicycle Tour Guide business.

However I do truely intend to rent myself out as a bicycle guide some time in the future and the many helpful suggestions mentioned in this thread are going into my notebook for when that eventful day arrives.

Thank you all for the good wishes and I hope I haven't upset anyone too much with this little prank.
