Routes & Mapping Comes to Portland Oregon!

If you live in the Portland, Oregon vicinity consider yourself invited to an Adventure Cycling Regional Gathering on Tuesday, October 16th -- members and non-members alike are welcome to attend this event.

Most of the Routes & Mapping staff -- namely Routes & Mapping Director Carla Majernik, and GIS Specialists and Cartographers Nathan Taylor and Melissa Thompson -- will be on hand to talk what else? Routes and maps! [Unfortunately, I will be tied up with NACIS board (North American Cartographic Information Society) business that evening and unable to attend.]

Specifically they plan to share a little history, an overview of our mapmaking process and an inside peek at our newest route in development -- Bicycle Route 66 -- including a look at what it's like to research a route on the road.

I hope you can join them for the evening. It is being held at the downtown Bike Gallery location (1001 SW 10th Ave.) from 6 PM to 8 PM. Come chat with fellow cyclists and meet the staff.

Please RSVP to Beth Peterson at infoATadventurecyclingDOTorg or 800-755-2453 if you think you'll drop by.
