I did another meet and greet this morning for Dominick, which turned into the morning plus some. It is a fun service to provide, as the clients by definition are doing some self guiding after I leave them. So, they are typically relatively prepared, and reasonable cyclists. Today, I met a couple from Canada, Reg and Leah. They are off on a 3 day self guided tour, and I helped them at the shop with the bikes, some basic information, then guided them to Impruneta. We had a cafe in Impruneta, and discussed their options. They choose going through Chiocchio, and I was going to ride back through San Polo, so I continued guiding them toward Chiocchio to my turn off. They were a very nice couple, and I think will have a great trip. I reviewed the map and directions pretty well with Leah, and I think they will be fine.
After leaving them, I rode pretty hard to San Polo, then up and over the little pass to Cappanuccia, then through Grassina to Cinque Vie and back home on the viales. All in all, a nice ride and a nice morning. Meeting Lorenzo tomorrow morning to scout a possible new route for our raduno next spring, then off to the beach on Tuesday. Ciao.
