So why do so many accessible and interesting sounding rides <em>have</em> to push the sponsored ride thing? :-(<br /> I appreciate they are good causes and all, but surely you could take a moderate entry fee, give us a nice run in return and make a modest gain? If I skim through the ads in Cycling plus it seems to be a never-ending stream of charity this (<em>just</em> raise £X,XXX for us and you can...), sponsored that, doubtless good causes but good grief, can someone <em>please</em> do something original?!? </p>
