The area of Cuba where I stayed. The city of Camaguey is at the bottom left corner, Nuevitas is near the right border and the coast with the hotel is at the right edge.
The coastal area where I started from. The hotel Brisas Santa Lucia and the village Santa Lucia to the south are on a coastal barrier island. The coral reef is the dividing line between light and dark blue, about 1km off the beach.
The city of Nuevitas. The old city faces the bay at the bottom and the hotel is where a thin pier juts away from shore. The power plant is visible as the large industrial peninsula at the top left of the image.

A few thoughts, based on my experience.

	Duration of the trip: give yourself at least a month. to get the most out of it. A week was not enough to bring my Spanish skills back to an acceptable level. This is a place where it matters as much "how" you say it as "what you say".
	Do not start in a resort. To explore like I did, it's fine. But a longer trip makes it cheaper to live in the country and stay in Casas Particulares (licensed B&B's). Also, the area around a tourist hotel like Playa Sta Lucia or Varadero is somewhat uninteresting compared to historic towns or major cities.
	Book into a place near the arrival and leave your bike box there: you'll have it ready for your return. It also will give you the necessary address that you have to put on your tourist card that doubles as visa.
	The locals cannot freely sell you things or offer a night's stay - that all is a matter of proper license in Cuba. Plan to stay in towns large enough to have such places. And when you cycle from one town to the next, have enough food and water to get you the distance even though you think you can buy on the way.
	Travel information: Lonely Planet Guide to Cuba. I shopped around before the trip and believe it's the best out there.
	here's a list of what I would take on my next trip. This is not a final list yet...
