Nantes 0: Rennes 2

It was a really nice day for a ride, a bit windy but 75. This is Snail Lake from the picnic pavilion. Looking at the photo I feel the need to explain that Snail Lake will be a lot prettier when the foliage fills in so that the blue dumpsters do not seem so prominent.Snail Lake is a weekend ride as there is a stretch of Victoria which I prefer not to ride in weekday traffic but which is perfectly benign on the weekend.

Nantes falls to Rennes in a home game and relegation becomes more likely. I checked the table and relegation is not yet a mathematical certainty. But with only 4 games remaining les Canaris would almost need to win out and also get some help from the teams ahead of them.

Lots of EuroSports news today. The English football league had a couple of huge outcomes as Manchester United rallied from 2 down to defeat Everton 4-2 and Bolton came from behind to tie Chelsea 2-2.
