Craig and Wisdom at training in Accra
The CCE supported project, Bamboosero has announced that a new shipment of frames have arrived from Ghana. Road, City and Mountain bike frames of various sizes are available. These frames are hand made by Ghanaian bamboo frame builders (“Bambooseros”) trained by Craig Calfee. Two of the Ghanaian Bambooseros, Ben Opk and Wisdom Toxla, will be coming for the Strawberry Fields Forever and CCE Spring ride this May.

We are already hard at work planning the next edition of Strawberry Fields Forever, which is scheduled for Sunday, 20 May 2012. Our volunteer team captains have met and we’re excited and hope you are too. We will have new routes and a new starting location, so stay tuned for updates. Registration will open on 1 January at Active.com.
Register before February 15 for $45, a discount from last year’s fee. Registration after that will be $55. If you have family or friends who’d like to join you for one of the best rides in northern California encourage them to take advantage of early registration.
As in the past there will be no “same day” registration. Rider limit will be 1200, and this year we will only have online registration.
We have a scrumptious new jersey design, courtesy of local designer Janet Allinger. And this year you can order your jersey directly from Voler.
We’re planning an exchange program for the last two weeks in May here in California and a ten day exchange program in Italy for the fall. Info as it becomes available and applications will be posted here on our website and you will also receive updates if you are subscribed to our e-newsletter.
We thank you for joining us, and thank you for supporting our cycling programs over all these years.
Wishing you the best in cycling adventures in 2012….
the Strawberry Fields Forever Organizing Committee
