RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

I acknowledge that by signing this application, I am releasing Gold Rush Cycling Club and its directors, officers, managers, volunteers and members from liability. This release is with legal consequences and I have been advised to read it carefully before signing. I acknowledge that cycling is an inherently dangerous sport and I fully realize the dangers of participating in bicycle rides specifically, training, and racing and FULLY ASUME THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION INCLUDING, by way of example, and not limited to the following: the dangers of colliding with pedestrians, cars, and other riders; dangers of injury from riding on trails with natural and man-made stunts and obstacles. I understand and agree that situations can arise during rides, instruction and races which are beyond the immediate control of the club and race officials or organizers, and I must continue to ride in a manner that is not endangering to myself or others. I accept responsibility for the conditions and safety of my equipment such as the bicycle and all of its components including wheels and tires. I WILL WEAR A HELMET ON ALL RIDES. This agreement may not be modified orally, and a waiver of any provision shall not be construed as a modification of any other provision.
