Allowing others to see the route sheet is a red herring. The route isn't a secret and was easy to follow on the day without refering to the route sheet. The key points are:

This is a charity event and unregistered riders are not paying for their entry.

Emergency resources are there for the registered riders. While I am sure that no one would expect an injured rider to be left, these resources were for the registered riders and while the paramedics are dealing with an unregistered rider they cannot help others.

If the number of riders does become a problem then the police do have the power to stop it happening.

Clearly the problem is that there are far more people wanting to ride than there are places. Perhaps the entery fee should be raised to include an element that is expected to be covered sponsors. Say £50 of which £25 is entery and £25 is what is expected to be raised in sponsorship. Of course there may always be selfish people who want to do the ride, but don't want to pay.
