I didn't know about the ALS ride, but I tend to shy away from rides that require fundraising. There are only so many times you can go to the well asking for money, so I ante up the donation myself when I do these rides, and I try to make sure it's an organization I really believe in and where most of the money goes to direct action and not to overhead, etc. The 50 mile ride is a little odd...I'm not sure that doing two loops of the 25 mile ride would be all that fun.

Are you going to do it?
