Now that I've got a fast (to me) bike, I'd like to get out and push my limits a little bit in terms of distance, and a charity ride seems like a nice way to do that. That being said, I'm more than a little worried about fundraising. I have a grand total of two family members, and all of my friends are just out of college and even more broke than I am.

Any advice on this challenge? For rides that don't have a fundraising minimum, are people who don't raise much looked down on?
