Phil's Cookie Fondo is now $160. Granted, you get some freebies, but I really do not need another t-shirt or tote bag (the custom Camelback bottle is awesome). It is however a charity ride, but you never know really how much goes to charity (it should be all net profit). There are some rides like the Sea Otter Classic, which is a for-profit ride, but pretends to give to charity.
