2931.0. "8th Fausto Coppi sportif" by HERON::codger.vbo.dec.com::HEMMINGS (Lanterne Rouge) Fri Apr 07 1995 06:17

This is X-posted from EURO_RANDONNEUR which has gone quiet thanks to recent 
cuts, I think this file has a wider readership ....

Innovation for this year, the Coppi has a little brother!  I received Due 
Ruote News the other week giving details of the 1995 torture trip over the 
col d'Agnel, col de Vars and colle della Maddelena and discovered they had 
put in a shorter loop for those who wanted the atmosphere of a Gran Fondo but 
found the full shilling over the top.

Date: Sunday 9th July
Venue: Cuneo, Italy
Course 1:
        240 km starting and finishing in the very impressive Piazza 
Galimberti in Cuneo.  The usual neutralised run of 50-odd km to Sampeyre 
where the 55+ and women join in, then up over the Agnel (2741m), the Vars 
(2111m), the Maddalena (1996m), followed by the exciting 70 km downhill to 
the finish.
Course 2:
        130 km starting and finishing in the same place.  Takes the same 
route as far as Sampeyre, then turns left over the colle di Sampeyre (2284m) 
and has a roaring 60-odd km of generally downhill back to Cuneo.
Entries:
         50,000 L before 27-Jun, 80,000 L after this date, includes ravito 
plus a commemorative jersey to be worn during the event.
Address:
        Promocuneo, Via XX Settembre, 19 - 12100 CUNEO (Italia)

I have details in italian plus the entry form if anyone is interested, send
