I like doing the charity rides, I always have a good time. The only one I sign up for that requires fund raising is the TdC. Like several others of you, it is the one that means something to me. By the end of the year, my total charity rides will be 8. The other 7 have entry fees from $25 up to $40, they all local events but the number of riders on some of them was close to 2K this year and up from the year before. Well, the HHH cannot be called small but you know what I mean. It is not just cycling, one of the walking events is going to require a $1200 commitment next year.
