Reluctance to do Advance Registration

[Pedal Wench]

I usually pre-register for foot races, just because the commitment gives me motivation to train and run.

For overnight cycling tours, usually pre-registration is required.

Oh yeah - for my big goal rides, I absolutely sign up - I'll probably ride them rain or shine, so the big rides I sign up for early.

I also figure the day-off extra money goes to the cause, so that's not bad, right?

In the past, I've sometimes waited until the "day of" the event if:

--it was a ride I would only do if the weather was nice
--the ride was run by a charity (not a bike club)
--it was a ride where I was making the charitable contribution myself (rather than collecting money)
