that does sound pretty cool actually.... might have to give that one a go... a bit sad how on $10 goes to the foundation though... if they did not give you anything... imagine how much more money could go to the foundation.

you can always just donate $50 to them, if you'd prefer.

 

Perhaps the goodies are being donated? Businesses may donate goods to sponsor an event where they wouldn't give the cash. In turn it will make the event more attractive to people considering entering...

hmmm I never realised I came across so stupid in my posts.... thanks!

maybe I would really like the opportunity to ride with professional riders, just not donate $48 to something other than the foundation, that is a fair chunk of money, out of $58 dollars, council, insurance, the pros... hmm maybe I could just donate $50 to the foundation instead.
