tour partner
I would like to get into touring, but also would like a partner to help get me started and to enjoy the company with. I'm from columbus, ohio and this summer would love to travel from here to anywhere.

Three suggestions:
1) Check the Adventure Cycling, companions wanted list
2) Look for local cycling clubs in the Columbus area. Most likely you'll find either racing groups
or some weekend recreational cyclist type groups. Meet folks there to tour with further.
3) Take some of your non-cycling/touring friends and see if they are up for a short three-day mini-tour
or next level trip.

Hi, I have been secretly entertaining the possibility of touring this summer. I'm from Ohio and I would be happy to chat with you about it through PM if you are interested. I am totally inexperienced, but have been reading a bit on the topic for the last couple of years.
