Touring - How to loate touring partner for Europe Summer 2013

I am looking at doing a self guided tour of the Czech Republic to Vianna in the early summer of 2013. I really don't wnat to pay for a tour so would like to ride freelance. How or where can one locate potential like minded biking partners or a trip such as this?

LOATE?

I just went, on my own , 3 long European tours.. solo.. met people along the way..
they were my companions .

IDK how about a note on the Evergreen College bulletin board? like minded ?
you got a long list of Philosophical questions ready to go?

Old fashioned Print? there is both the ACA listings , and the Bicycle Paper published out of Seattle.

At first glance, I thought the title of this thread was How To Loathe a Touring Partner :)

Maybe the OP skipped the English Language classes , for something Hipper.

Put in ads @ Advernturecycling.org in "Companions Wanted" and crazyguyonabike.com in "Classifieds"

I agree with Yumadons. Adventure Cycling and CrazyGuy are the way to go.

Dear Bob:

I like to tour cheaply and self guided is the only way to go. Perhaps if you put a personal ad on Craigslist you might find a like-minded touring partner. However when I have been to Europe it was easy to just join other cyclists. I met lots of interesting people at hostels and tourist sites. Just remember that if you have an unpleasant touring partner they can make your vacation more of a chore than fun. The only advantage I can see in touring with other people is that you can share the cooking utensils. So if I can't get a partner I just plan on eating out and meeting interesting locals.

which is of course something that my happen when touring with someone you do not know beforehand...but then it might not too...

How do I loathe thee?
Let me count the ways.
