    Re: [RC] Fw: [RC] Dress Codes (was So Long) - Truman Prevatt


    There are some rides that do require helmets - the OD being one. SERA has required helmets for juniors for ever since I can remember.  You will probably see a trend by more and more land managers to require helmets for riding on their land.

    Just as an aside, David and I have toyed with the idea of trying to
    resurrect the Pendleton Challenge, which is held on a Marine base in So Cal,
    as David has plenty of military contacts there. In the past, anyone coming
    onto the base had to show insurance. If the conversations we've had with
    the base cmdr there hold true, anyone entering the ride in the future will
    be required to wear a helmet or leave. Might be an interesting trend for
    the future in other areas.
