I hate I missed the free event on March 2, but I might just make this one since I got fresh brakes.

I just noticed something. A helmet is absolutely required? I noticed that most of you guys didn't have on helmets in the March 2 photos.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a helmet at a good price locally? All I can find is motorbike style helmets.

Thanks for clearing that up. I seriously doubt I can get one shipped from Amazon by Saturday. I will have to catch you guys another time.
