The best group ride is three people ... and one of them doesn't show up.
I have to confess I've never been on a "charity ride" and don't even understand the concept. Giving to those in need is good and I do it. Just don't understand how riding a motorcycle in a group benefits those who really could use some benefit. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
Participating in a group ride with frequent stops for beer; well if your organ donor card is filled out, that does make you a likely giver to a very worthy charity. The doc's will probably pass on the liver.

You have to pay to go on the ride, and that money goes to a charity.
I few years ago our town had a charity ride to raise money for our new Hospice House. I really didn't want to go on a large group ride, but wanted to donate, so I stopped in at the Hospice and gave them a check directly.
So, correct me if I am wrong, Yiou pay money which goes to a charity which you would like to support for the chance to ride in a large group of riders whose skills are unknown to you? Hmmm. How does the group ride garner donations from non-riders? Or is this simply a way for MC outlaws or wannabees to put on a good face?
I guess I still don't get the ride/bike/walk/run for dollars idea. Clearly I'm retarded since all of them are so prevalent. I clearly understand the idea of setting oneself a challenge. I just don't get why people should donate to a particular charity because one does so.
Still seeking clarity.
Although as an MSF instructor, I can teach Group Riding (4-Hr. classroom block), I rarely see such principles adhered to by most riders.
I like Ted's approach to the issue.
I've done a few Edelweiss Tours. By the end of the day my nerves were shot . . . so many different riders with so many different styles. The next time I ride in Europe I'll ride alone.
