Cold rain

I have now ridden enough that the NEED to ride is a bit under control. I now only WANT to ride. I love my bicycle.

Definition of conditions under which bicycling is not an attractive life choice: 40s and rain.

I realize that only a small group of potential readers care about this but today in France:

Lorient 1:2 Marseille
Bordeaux 1:0 Lyon

The wins by Marseille and Bordeaux mean that Marseille leads Lyon by 4. Bordeaux assumes second spot in the table, 2 behind Marseille, 2 ahead of Lyon.

The reason why we care about this is that FC Nantes have won the league championship 8 times. Lyon has won 7 times, and in fact, the last 7 in a row. As fans of FC Nantes we root against Lyon accomplishing a feat which would diminish the accomplishments of our favored team.

We also root for Saint-Étienne to be relegated (they currently stand 18th, in the relegation zone) because Saint-Étienne are the chief rival of FC Nantes for honors having won the league championship 10 times.

Allez Nantes.
