Proud Mary

A new member of the harem only comes along once in a while.....

...and while she's still blue, she comes with magic too.

There's a lot to compare to the older one...but there's a lot of new too.....

.....cooling fins on brake pads

....and a rear derailleur with a switcharo....

The linkages look similar, but this is where the similarities come to an end.....

On my inaugural ride (climb), I became aware that I had been deceived....the world is in fact, flat.......

You still have to pedal.....but pedaling slower gets you farther....this bird will go far, and I will take her there.

Left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worryin' bout the way things might have been.......

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.....
