Cash Courage and Cycling Cuba: Coloso’s World Record Cuban Ride

Join UltraCycling Magazine for an inspiring conversation with Coloso (Gerardo Rojano) of Mexico City, a man who left behind business and convention to follow his passion for ultra-distance cycling.
Coloso shares how he set the first World UltraCycling Association (WUCA) records in Mexico, added two national titles, and went on to establish the first WUCA record in Cuba.
In this episode, he reveals the beauty and challenges of riding across Cuba—where your credit or debit cards won’t work, and cash is king. When his funds ran out, he had to cut his ride short but still made history with a point-to-point record. Now, he’s planning a return in February 2025 to complete the Cuba East-to-West WUCA record.
Streamed on YouTube and Facebook, this recorded show takes you inside the heart and mind of an ultra-cyclist who rides for passion, not comfort.
