Fitz's Challenge - Helmet verification?
I"m an American temporarily living in Canberra and I'm eager to do Fitz's Challenge at the end of October. I note on the information web site that registration requires the following:
"Show an event official that your helmet complies - has an Australian Standard AS 2063 five ticks or Snell label attached"
I have a perfectly good helmet from the US, but it has neither of these labels. Are they really likely to check and prevent my participation for lack of the label? I don't really want to spend $100 to buy a helmet that I don't need.
