I generally don’t like to pay to ride on streets where I ride for free. I am self-supporting in all my rides, even the long ones so I don’t need their swag. Plus I already have a closet full of charity ride jerseys.
If it is a group that I support, such as the American Diabetes Assoc., then I don’t mind a reasonable fund raising minimum. I know the money is going for a good cause.
I thought that part of the reason for having charity rides was to raise awareness for their cause, not just to raise funds from the ride itself.
The problem now is, as someone has already mentioned, that these fund raising “goals” keep going up and up. I fear that good fund raiser causes may be pricing themselves out of existence with these steep requirements.
