I used to go on a fair number of charity rides but stopped some years ago when I began to notice some disturbing trends.
Most of the rides got way too big, thousands of bikes and riders, of all levels of experience. No offense to new riders but 1 or 2 seasons of riding around does not prepare you for riding in a huge pack. It's unsafe, in my opinion, and the number of accidents and even fatalities seem to bear this out.
I'm EXTREMELY picky about who I ride with, so these big group rides are not for me.
I'm not saying don't go: they can be a lot of fun. But stay sharp and if the bikes around you make you uneasy, drop out and ride the tail end. Not as much fun as being in the middle but you'll get home at the end of the day.
Just my 0.02.

Awe thanks Opa.... always looking out for us. I don't mind staying in the back though. I think I would be way more comfortable there:)

Yup, want my muffins to stay safe. :)
Check out some of the smaller charity rides before tackling something like Ride for Sight or the BAD Ride. It will give you a feel for larger groups without making you feel too hemmed in.
Also, be aware that most of these rides act like a slinky: slow and all bunched up, then stretched out and fast, then slow again. It gets tiring (and tiresome) and the slow portions can be painful on a sportbike.
The bike shows often have booths promoting charity rides, so check them out and don't be shy asking about their safety record and how they structure the ride. The good ones have smaller groups staggered, instead of one big free for all.
