I'm glad you mentioned this, Susan. I hate (hate hate hate!) fundraising, but I was afraid to ask the question about whether one can ride in the charity event without doing so (and sound like a horrible selfish biyotch for wanting to ride without fundraising...). I really wouldn't mind paying the whole entry fee myself to avoid this factor.
