Cuba Cycle Challenge 2012

The Cuba Cycle Challenge 2012 will take place from the 12-20th November 2012. This will be the fourth year we run the Cuba Cycle Challenge, and this year we have a brand new route offering our participants the journey of a lifetime! On this fully supported trip you will experience some the most beautiful views and historical sites Cuba has to offer and there is no better way to soak it all in than by bike. Also escape the winter blues of Ireland in November to the glorious semi-tropical climate averaging at around 27⁰C at this time of year!

Here are just some of the trips highlights:
• A walking tour in Trinidad with Caribbean Beach Lunch Stop
• Ché Guevara’s Mausoleum
• Hike to Caburní Falls, deep in the Escambray Mountains
• Old Havana walking tour, a UNESCO world heritage site
• A visit to a traditional Cuban Music Venue

The terrain is undulating with some steep inclines and downhill descents with a distance totalling 260km over 4 days of cycling. The longest day of cycling is 79km. But in the evenings relax in good quality hotels, all with swimming pools! Training notes will be provided to get you into tip-top condition!

The trip is fully supported with a dedicated team including a Blazing Saddles Cycle tour manager, a fully qualified Cuban doctor, a Cuban national cycle team mechanic and an English speaking local tour guide and a support vehicle available at all times.

Over the past two years our cyclists have raised over €170,000 for families in Ireland struggling to cope with the devastating condition of Alzheimer’s disease. By signing up you too can help these families to obtain the services that they so urgently need.
