Yes, the fundraising can be daunting, but they generally have a "recommitment" period about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way through the training where you can assess how your fundraising is going and back out of it - with no further commitment to raise the rest of the money.
That's what I was understanding (at least about the fundraising). I'll be going to a TNT info session Saturday, but I'm not looking to ride until next year (this year we're fundraising for Light the Night). I'm very committed to TNT being the first big ride, assuming I can do the fundraising. $2500 would be big but I'm pretty sure I could pull that off, $5K might be a little tougher (but I think I'd still try).

So it sounds like you could potentially refuse certain benefits (like hotel or maybe transportation) and that would affect the minimum?

Thanks for the advice!
