I fancy doing Enduro Italia for the charity Riders. Anyone else thinking/heard of it?

I can see a major problem with the concept. Who's going to contribute towards costs of £5000 for me to jolly around Italy for 2 weeks when nearly half the money doesn't go to charity!

Any comments?


I saw an ad for this in Bike magazine last month and spent an afternoon at work daydreaming about it. It sounds like an awesome experience, the same for the enduro India event.
Still, like you say the numbers don't quite add up right do they? you could probably organize the trip and the fund raising all on your own and end up giving more to charity.

The numbers do sound very dodgy, someones creaming off the top somewhere Confused

You should be able to do that on £1500 comfortably including spending time riding to Italy and back.

salesmen get commission for making money, so i have no problem with fundraisers making money, if charities get some money that they wouldnt have otherwise got
