    I don't wish to turn this into a helmet thread, but I find the stipulation that you have to wear a helmet very curious, given that the course is specifically not for racing cyclists.

    Group cycling = risk of crashing.

    Probably a public liability insurance issue too. Insurers don't care about the subtleties, they just don't want to have to defend an expensive legal action.
