Can't see where it states that?? Melbourne ride is a fund raiser for RCH, but it's also significantly cheaper. Only mention of AGF I can see is that they are the official charity partner of the event and you can fundraise for them, bit like the Smith Family and Around the Bay.
Ride the Worlds – Geelong - Ride for the Cause - Amy Gillett Foundation
The 2010 UCI Road World Cycling Championship is proud to support the Amy Gillett Foundation.

The AGF runs a wide range of education and awareness campaigns:
A Meter Matters: Educating motorists to give an extra metre of space when passing cyclists
Road Right: Helping learner drivers understand how to safely share the road with cyclists by increasing their knowledge of the road rules in relation to cyclists
Aust Cycle: Encouraging and teaching cycling skills for all Australians under a standardized training program presented by accredited cycling trainers
Ride Right: Helping you keep your family safe by purchasing the correct fitting bike and helmet, plus the relevant safety accessories
Amy’s Ride: Fundraising rides conducted around Australia to spread the message about cycling safety
Sporting Scholarship: Putting an up and coming female cyclist on the road to success
Research Scholarship: A three year PHD study on the causal effects of bicycle / vehicle accidents

BE A CYCLING CHAMPION FOR A DAY & HELP SUPPORT THE AMY GILLETT FOUNDATION - TOGETHER WE CAN HELP KEEP EVERYONE SAFER ON OUR ROADS!
The Amy Gillett Foundation is proud to be associated with the 2010 UCI Road World Cycling Championship as the official charity partner for the Geelong participation event, taking place on Sunday the 3rd of October.
Each year, an average of 35 cyclists are killed and over 2,500 are seriously injured on our roads and many more incidents go unreported. The majority of these collisions involve a motor vehicle and most are preventable. Your participation in this once in a lifetime experience of riding on the official course of the ‘World Champs’ will not only provide you with great memories and an increased respect for the quality of the elite riders that take part, but you will be helping the Amy Gillett Foundation raise much needed funding and raise increased awareness about cycling safety!
YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE & WIN!
This is also your chance to have your family, friends and business associates sponsor your involvement in the course participation ride where all proceeds that you raise will go towards ongoing Amy Gillett Foundation program development. Every dollar makes a difference.
The highest fundraisers will win fabulous prizes. More details will be available soon.
