The season is over, the bicycle is in the basement.Scheduled winter maintenance: a new chain, maybe a new cog on the cassette, and a complete cleaning.
Last Monday in the southern French city of Montpellier, the Montpellier Herault Sport Club held FC Nantes to a 0-0 tie, dropping Nantes from first to second place in the Ligue 2 table for the first time since very early in the season. This evening in Le Havre Montpellier again took the field against the first place team in the league, this time Le Havre, and again played to a 0-0 tie, and again dropped the opponent into second place in the league. With the 18th round of league play now complete, Nantes holds first place by 2 points with a single game remaining until the half way mark in the season schedule. Nantes is on 38 points while fourth place, the first team outside the promotion zone, is on 29.
Thanks to Wireless for providing a translation of the description on the Nantes website of the Friday night yellow card offense of the Nantes player and two goal scorer Youcek Sekour. Also thanks to her for noticing that he is only 19. All additional mentions of young Sekour for the rest of this season will reference him as the "teenage sensation, Youcek Sekour."
Allez Nantes!

Nice to see the LOOK again. The basement is where my good bike and my backup bike are, as well. My winter bike is still in the garage. Though there is ice today, there was a hint on the local weather this morning that a warm up will arrive and the snow may be gone before Christmas. I'll ride a few more times if that happens. I'n desparately trying to hang on to some fitness until Florida. SS
