I've seen it tried before but you run a high risk of a "lifetime forum ban" for spamming.

 

[kjpit01]

so is there no advertising area I could use? If not which magazine would you reccommend that is used by most cyclists?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

There is no free advertising area in the forum.

I didnt expect it to be free- but it seems Im banging a brick wall as far as any info to take it further - or any response at all bar 'no'. Are u teenagers by any chance?

Im not sure why everyone is being so unhelpful.

Are you looking at advertising on the actual cn website? That would be expensive.

I assume you are asking if there are any cycling sites where you can advertise your house. really you would be looking at registered with the normal b&b sites, or holiday sites and specifically stating that you welcome cyclists. Off the top of my head I dont know of any specific cycling sites that do that. You could also try approaching some of the companies that offer cycling tours.

Do you have a website or anything, worth setting up a simple website with the property, views of the area, maybe some cycling routes already laid out as gpx files so that people can view them. And then take it from there.

If you mean just to make your house available for touring cyclists as a service (rather than renting it to them) and a way of meeting people from elsewhere, there is http://www.warmshowers.org ; it's a cooperative help-each-other network.

Go to one of the bike tour organisers they may grab it quickly if it is in the right place

Im looking to rent a house for a week in august, where is it exactly?

We are 15 mins from Draguinan, a little village called Tourtour. 700 meters up a mountain, always cyclists going up & down the mountain.
1 hour from Nice & also 1 hour from St Tropez- far enough away to miss the crowds.
This year its full till mid september- I was mostly interested in making the summer season last a bit longer

email kjpit@aol.com if you do want to talk further
