 These are my good friends Dominic and Dana and together we're going to ride bikes around Western Cuba. Who wants to ride bikes? Where'd you get there Dana? I got a good luck flower. I think I'm going to need it. No. It's perfect. No, it's really sweet. The guy that owns this place, he gave me my playa name Boina Dana and he also gave me this flower. We are getting packed up slowly. We've been starting most of our days at 9.30 which is very leisurely and we're going to have a lot of fun, right? Yeah. That's what we do every day. So we're going to do it. My voice is all messed up. It's another beautiful day to be riding a bike. Today we're going to Las Terrasas, about 80 kilometers. We're going to run into some hills. It's going to be beautiful like every day, sunny, no clouds. Everybody's in good spirits. Cuba time. Buenos dias. Lots and lots of sugarcane. More sugarcane than I've seen on this entire trip. How do you think they make those mojitos so nice and sweet? Even or not, but we are on the carretera central which is one of the main highways, as you can see. Not a whole lot of traffic. It's a nice tranquilo Sunday morning. People are walking around with their umbrellas, riding their bikes. I don't know where they're going. Maybe church. It's not all that religious of a country. So they might just be cruising just for fun. Buenos dias. Time for a little cookie break. One of the best parts about riding on these roads is that everybody else is on these roads doing business. And there's the cookie guy riding his bike down the road and he's got a whole basket full of mantekalos, which is kind of like a butter cookie. Really simple, good. Peso each. Some nice energy. And off we go. Ella says that they are the best cookies we've had on this trip. We are now on the Alto Pista. This is the main main highway. The other one earlier was the other highway. This is the main one. And as you can see, it's still pretty devoid of traffic. There's definitely more traffic. But not a lot. We're going to be on here for 15 kilometers and then we're going to get off and find some smaller roads. Pinia y coco, no? Alka zeltse. This is tropical alka zeltse. This juice right here is coconut and pineapple. And it is pretty much heaven in a little glass. We're getting closer. We're getting so close. The day is turning out to be pretty challenging, pretty much. What we thought it was going to be. A couple of really steep mamas and then some up and downs and up and downs. Nice job. We're here, first stop, ice cream. Okay, here's the thing, Ryan. When we talk about the terrain of Cuba, when I looked at it on the map, it was flat. And then we got here and it seems to be, every single time it's flat, you guys lead me into the hills. By hills, I mean like for real climbs, like steep climbs. So we have decided to leave Las Terrasas. It's not quite what we thought. We were hoping for a nice quaint Cuban village and it kind of is, but it's more of a Cuban tourist Disneyland town. They did have good ice cream and it was cheap, but we're going to carry on a little bit somewhere else. So the tricky part with Cuba is if you pass all the Casa de Renta, the Casa Particulares and you come across a smaller town that doesn't have any, you can't really stay there. So we're going forward more. So we're going to go do another 20 kilometers to a bigger town, which we think we'll have some Casa de Renta. This is definitely our biggest day. Dana, how you doing? We're not lost. We're just going a different way. Hey, it's a camera. Really? Can I get a camera? No, you're right. It's a bike, right? It's okay. I live in Colorado. In Colorado. In the United States. That was kind of funny. Those kids had like these fishing rod things. They're like, stop, stop. Give me some money. What do you have? Can I have your camera? I didn't give them the camera obviously, but I didn't give them some stickers and they were happy and they were polite towards the end and said, thank you. This is how adventures are born. We think we know where we're going. We think we're going to stop at a certain place and it's just not quite what we want. So we keep going and going and going. And whatever happens, happens. That's just the way it is. Luckily, we still have plenty of hours of sunlight. We have plenty of food. We have plenty of water. We can keep riding. We are riding into the town of Guanahe and three dudes on road bikes rode up next to us. They rode for a day ride. They're Cuban dudes. I was talking to this guy. He's a barber. He cuts hair all week and he rides bikes on the weekend. Pretty cool. So there is a little bit of cycle life here. Good bikes are really hard to get in Cuba, but Cubans can get them when North Americans or Europeans bring them over and that's how these guys got their bikes. We're in the town of Guanahe with our amigos. They're helping us find a room to rent and we're just going to find a place for a Sunday afternoon. The park is full and we're tired so we're going to find a place to stay. We finally found our spot. What are you most excited to do Dana? Take a shower. Oh my god, I have so much road grime. Cats. We got the cat bed. Yeah. Part of today Dana. It might be right now. Tough today, but kept going. Dana and Ryan are, I mean it's hard to fault them. If anything they're a little too positive for me, but I like to think that I provide a stabilizing factor there, a bit of a ying and yang thing going on. I try and maintain a healthy level of cynicism, but it's difficult, you know, this weird, bold, good times vibe, it's a bit catchy. I love Sunday pizza day. Every day is pizza day in Cuba. Every day is pizza day. Cheers! Pizza cheers! Cheers!
