Riding with Cosimo, custom cycling tours in Tuscany: 8-8 ride and meeting

I met this morning with the head concierge at the Four Seasons in Florence. It was a good meeting, but he brought up some things I had been ignoring and need to deal with. If this is to be a real business, I need to deal with liability waivers and having the ability to give real receipts. I will use my LLC in Colorado as the business legally, and will be able to give receipts based on this. I can then do the work here through the LLC, not needing a Permesso de Lavoro to work, which I do not have and don't know how I can obtain. The Four Seasons has to protect themselves, so they require these types of things to be in place to use a business. It is good for me to deal with this, as it does need to be taken care of. I will come up with a liability waiver myself, in plain language, hopefully quite clear, and will also see if I can change the name of the LLC I currently have set up in Colorado. This should all work out relatively easily, but will take some effort.

After the meeting, I was off for a ride, but by the time I was on the bike it was already around 11:00 and getting quite warm. I went my back way to San Domenico, then up to Fiesole (water), then up to the turn off for Monteloro, basically the top of the climb. I descended down the Monteloro road to Sieci, getting more water in Monteloro, then went up one of my favorite climbs to the molino de vento (windmill). From there, I descended to the Pope's road, which is almost to Rufina, then rode this road back over to Pontesieve. From Pontesieve, I rode the main road back through Sieci (water) then back to Firenze. 65 kilometers in a little over 3 hours, with around 3000 vertical of climbing.
