[Tfug] Fwd: OT: OpenStreetMap Tempe Mapping Party January 24th & 25th!!!

[Ben Slote]

Thanks for forwarding this information, Judd.

I know there are at least a few other TFUGers who are pretty avid cyclists;
would any of you be interested in trying to set one of these up for Tucson?
We'd need to source some GPS units, maybe some of you have access to them?

Would be great to map out some of the more bike-friendly streets and routes
and hopefully get some more people out on their bikes!
