Eh, it's not my thing, either. In almost all cases, if your primary goal is to support The Cause (MS, cancer, save the whales, whatever) you're far better off donating to the organization directly and skipping their charity ride. More money will end up in the charity's coffers and you'll avoid the awkwardness of asking friends, family, coworkers, etc. for donations.
