Coppi's comeback 28/04/12

Following a very impressive turnout last week (12), this weekend saw the poorest showing all year, with Robbo resigned to riding solo. Fortunately, an unexpected eleventh hour e-mail from Coppi suggested that the two of them meet up in Overton, on the strict understanding that 'it wouldn't be a fast one'! A very pleasant couple of hours then ensued along the highways and byways of Shropshire and Cheshire. At one point, Coppi swept alongside Robbo and led at the best part of 30mph along a flat section, which is pretty remarkable when you consider he hadn't been able to even walk for 3 months until a few weeks ago!! Based on today's showing, there's plenty of life and fighting spirit in the Flying Dead Italian, and all of the lads are right behind you as you continue to regain your fitness ready for Les Alpes.
