Lee's Cuba Bike Tour Newsletter - Winter 2023

  Cuba Bike Touring Going Great!    Cycling in Cuba brings you up close to Cuban life and culture  As we prepare to leave our Canadian winter behind and head off for 2-months of warm sunshine in Cuba, we would like to share some photos from the recently completed and successful November 2023 bike tour of western Cuba led by Jim Michler with the able assistance of our Cuban Tour Guide Karel Pupo. Despite what you may have heard, there is ample evidence that you can travel safely and in comfort in Cuba and have a great time while you are there.

Follow us on Facebook to see our progress and adventures in photos and videos.
