Striking blond. Well developed fingers of her right hand. Posing with Grandmaster who, along with the Furious Five, sampled from the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" on their recording "It's Nasty." Who else could it be?

Now who is this front and center?:

It is indeed really flat, with the only real hill being from Booneville to Pilot Grove.
I was responding to Bob's comment that suggested that all rail-trails are created equal.

Yep. And far left is David Robinson, co-founder of The Cars. No relationship to the former San Antonio Spur, of course.
@BigAura

Arguably the best pedal to the metal song ever recorded:


Robinson's drumming says "The Cars" all over it.

Not sure what a "pedal to the metal" song is exactly. If ZZ Top is in that category, they get my vote.

It's kinda amazing how threads get yanked in a different direction.

Tell me if I'm wrong. The Katy is local to you. You've had an appropriate bike for several months. You've yet to ride on the Katy, even an out and back. You are interested in it, at least interested in talking about it. Why not take a short ride and report back on how your gearing worked. Something is very wrong here....

In all seriousness you need to get out there touring and report back. If you don't then I for one, and I'm guessing others, feel we have wasted a lot of time responding to your threads.

+100!

Once you ride for a bit you'll have a far better idea as to what best suits YOU.
