Feels like it's getting closer now

Grrrrrrrr............... I was about to sign up for the 52 when I spotted the line about compulsory helmets hidden away in the small print. I wonder how many people are going to arrive on the day and be turned away?

I will just have to manage with the bike events M/cr-Blackpool and M/cr 100 mile, bloody gutted because the 52 miles against the clock felt like it was going to be a great challenge but they can stuff it if they think they can dictate to me that an amateur cyclist wears a helmets in a non-competitive event

(just off to bike events to make sure their rules haven't changed since I last took part in one?)

I signed up for it last week. Like someone mentioned it will be totally different to a hilly event so the 18mph average should not be much of a problem.

I know, I know. I kind of assumed that you were alluding to a 'helmets are strongly recommended' type policy but reading the rider info on the website removes any doubt. They have a no helmet, no ride rule.

If it's on open roads, I suppose you could just ride it anyway, but you wouldn't get your time recorded or goody bag at the finish, nor your complementary massage!

I also U-turned on the jersey and asked them if I could still get the discount. I got a NO.

It states on the site 'prior to 20th April'. Unless there is another method?
