New moniker

We had another pretty huge numeric milestone here again today. I will not be posting information about the milestone here but I believe that TOPWLH will be posting a narrative and photos on her Xanga site. My only comment would be that as a result of today's ride she has achieved a new, for this site, moniker. Henceforth she shall be known here as Bianchi Babe 3,000.

It was cold overnight and still under 50 when we headed out. This in itself is a milestone as BB-3000 had never before ridden at that temperature. But the sun was out and the day was warming towards 54 as we rode. It was just fine.

The wind was from the southwest which meant a ride towards that compass point. We turned around at the Stone Arch Bridge.On the way back we deviated from the most direct route. Here is a LOOK at Ridder Arena, Babe and Bianchi for scale.This view of Ridder shows the doors through which we enter for the hockey. We entered there twice this week, once last night and then again today after our ride.Last night's game was punctuated by the 4th win by a family member in Chuck-a-Puck. If you don't know what Chuck-a-Puck is ask Kelsey. Ask her to show you her souvenir helmet autographed by the entire Minnesota team.

The football news today from France is good again.

Nantes continued their revival with a 1-0 victory over St. Etienne. After a disappointing start to their Ligue 1 campaign, Nantes have today recorded their third win in four games. The victory puts Nantes level on points with St Etienne, just behind them on goal difference, and continues a climb towards mid-table.
