But first, let me share some of the photos of the Fat Mary Tour we led last winter.  This was the first tour of 2023 for us during our two glorious months in Cuba leading 2 different bike tours with 25 riders.   This bike tour began with us meeting with the Matanzas youth cycling club on the first day of our tour.  Bicycle Breeze donated custom team jerseys for the club, and our riders donated 2 large bags of bicycle equipment to keep these kids riding.  Then we cycled on to Havana which is a truly exceptional experience with so much restoration having taken place in recent years.  Next, we continued west to the Town of Soroa, in the low hills west of Havana, an...
