It's a bit odd that the FAQ says helmets are forced, but the event page only says they're recommended. Which is it?

I think you should allow freedom of choice in line with the law, as I've never seen an event check that helmets are in date and correctly fitted anyway, so it doesn't do much for safety.

It's a good day out and they've done a great job over the years raising lots of money for the Chris Lucas Trust.

We do strongly recommend helmets we have seen some terrible accidents with cyclists not wearing helmets and as a event organizer safety is our first priority. We do not force helmets onto anyone I will contact our web guys today and make sur e site updated asap many thanks Lynn
