and represent that I understand the nature of Bicycling Activities
and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition
to participate in such Activity. I further acknowledge that the Activity
will be conducted over public roads and facilities open to the public
during the Activity and upon which the hazards of traveling are to
be expected. I further agree and warrant that any time I believe conditions
to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation
in the Activity. I further recognize that the Club requires the use
of approved helmets on all rides and does not recommend any particular
helmet.
- FULLY UNDERSTAND
that: (a) BICYCLING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS OF SERIOUS
BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABLITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH
(“RISKS”); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions
or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in
the Activity, the conditions in which the Activity takes place, or
THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE “RELEASEES” NAMED BELOW; (c) there may be OTHER
RISKS AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LOSSES either not known to me or not
readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL
SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES I
incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.
- HERBY RELEASE,
DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Club, the LAB, their representative
administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees,
other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable,
owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place (each
considered one of the “RELEASEES” herein) FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS,
DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ON MY ACCOUNT CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE
CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE “RELEASEES” OR
OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS; AND IN FURTHER AGREE
that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION
RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, I or anyone on my behalf, make a claim
against any of the Releasees, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS
EACH OF THE RELEASEES from any litigation expenses, attorney fees,
loss, liability, damage, or cost which may incur as result of such
claim. I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND
THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED
IT FREELY AND WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENTS OR ASSURANCE OF ANY NATURE AND
INTEND IT TO BE COMPLETE AND CONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, AND AGREE THAT IF ANY PORTION
OF THIS AGREEMENT IS HELD TO BE INVALID THE BALANCE, NOTWITHSTANDING,
SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
