I've done so many times and will be going to Switzerland next fall to visit our last guests that stayed three weeks with us.

While we don't really have the room for overnight guests (other than the living room floor),I do have a 12x24' shed (my bike room/dog house ) they'd be welcome in,or the decent sized yard,I also have a pair of tents I'd share if needed. That said,te wife is less forgiving on inviting strangers-even cyclists-inside than I am,so if I offered em the living room floor,we'd all be out in the shed

I would have done it when we still had our trailer available. But that's sold and there's really no room in the house, nor does our yard suit well for tents (no back yard grass). On the other hand, if I were single and SHE was cute.....

We need to do a Two Spoke convention. It may take a season or two to put together; that's cool. But we need to do it.

Sundance in the summer. Those with big cojones can take the lift to the top of the mountain, and ride down. Those with bigger cojones can ride the Alpine Loop on their road bikes.

Probably not in my house, but if I had a yard big enough I'd accept an RV or tents for a couple days, and maybe share meals and fix bikes or lend musical instruments.
