The NAVCC (http://www.navcc.co.uk/) list plenty of organised cycle
events up and down the country, including the yearly first-sunday-
in-july one round my neck of the woods. You don't see many helmets in
evidence on these IIRC: perhaps because a fall from an Ordinary would
be well outside the design parameters of most of the things.
Also, the CTC do not insist, and IME if a local organiser suggests you
wear one, you may still ride.
