@skully some very real considerations
wider than what most charity events of any sport achieve
"I think the idea that drinking lots of coffee on the way could help coffee growers is a bit fatuous-sounding."
the intention would be of course to have it all properly researched, there are charities that are giving back some of what we swallow back to their workers, in a totally justifiable way.
agree that the drinking only bit is lame, far more interesting perhaps linking a properly researched challenge where participants, donators and ultimately coffee producers benefit.
@Tenderloin yeah agree, the originality and difficulty are the only things that make people get into it, like the dudes that took the Ken bike up Ventoux and back in 24 hours
