haha sorry i'm not being negative, i'm trying to inject a dose of realism... you're not the ONLY person here who does MS rides, ... in fact a good number of us (including myself) have done them. nor are you the first person to ask for MS donations this way.

anyways, i AM genuinely interested if you do find success fundraising here on bikeforums, because if you do, it will become an open market for fundraising requests (meaning, i and others will jump at the opportunity to raise money this way too), which will quickly become saturated, and will probably discourage people from a) donating money on bikeforums ever again and b) trying to raise money this way ever again.
