Of course, to those Brits and expats like myself on the list - "riding the
Po" might be met with a certain amount of derision (Pot (with a silent T)
being one of the slang/ jocular ways of referring to a gazzunder or chamber
pot)!
On-topic, were there other cycling names which were contracted like Campag/
Campy?
