Thinking about doing one of their events... Just don't now how well I will do fundraising. My wife just ran a half marathon with them, and it seems like a great organization for a great cause...

She had to raise $1200 I think... it seems most of the cycling events (since none are close to me) will require at least $2500... :(

They participate in the Santa Fe Century, where I saw them 4 years ago. I was very impressed. They seem to truly be a team. If a person flats, everyone stops and waits and helps, etc.

Looks like a great organization, if you can handle the fund raising. I am on their mailing lists, as I assume everyone else is also.

I've thought about doing the T-in-T rides in the past but being unemployed it's tough coming up with the required cash. If they had a lower required amount or a "suggested" amount I think more people would participate.

True... however their goal is raising money, and what you raise also pays for your training, any hotel and/or airfare you require etc...
