Agreement and Waiver and Release of Liability
All applicants must read and agree.
I, the undersigned know that ride is a potentially hazardous event and attend it out of my own free will and choice. In choosing to attend and any related events, I fully accept and assume all risks, whether before, during or after ride and its related events. These include, without limitation, risks of physical injury, mental injury, emotional distress, trauma, death, contact with other participants, equipment failure, the effects of weather, traffic, contact with vehicular traffic, collisions with other riders or fixed objects, the conditions of the road, camping and participating in events along the route. I waive any and all specific notices of the existence of the risks.
I realize that ride requires physical conditioning and I represent that I am in sound medical condition capable of participating in the ride without risk to myself or others. I have no physical or medical impediment which would endanger myself or others.
I understand and agree that situations may arise during ride which may be beyond the control of the sponsors, promoters or organizers. I will be solely responsible for the condition and adequacy of my bicycle, safety gear and riding equipment. I will ride safely within the limits of my own abilities, my equipment and the riding conditions and in a manner so as not to endanger either myself or others.
Knowing these facts and in consideration of my entry acceptance, admissions to and/or participation in the ride and its related events, I for myself and anyone acting on my behalf release, waive, discharge, covenant not to sue and agree to hold ride, its sponsors and participating clubs, support personnel, volunteers and their representatives, agents, insurers, insurance brokers, and successors of all of the above harmless from any and all claims, demands, and actions of any and every kind I have, may have or may hereafter accrue against the released parties directly or indirectly arising out of liability shall include, without limitation, any injury, damage, or loss to my person or property which may be (a) caused by any act, or failure to act, by the above-identified persons and entities or (b) sustained by me before, during or after the ride and its related events.
I give my permission to ride to use my name, address, photograph, voice and/or likeness for any publicity an/or promotional purposes by ride, and its licensees without obligation or liability to me.
I agree to abide by all ride rules and regulations, including wearing an ANSI, SNELL or ASTM approved helmet at all times while on my bicycle. I further agree to indemnify and hold the parties released above harmless from any and all losses, damages, claims and expenses including attorney’s fees, arising from or relating in any respect to my participation in The Capitol Classic ride or its related events or my breach of this agreement. If I am a minor, my parent or guardian also is signing on my behalf and we both agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, waiver and release.
I have read this agreement, waiver and release and consent to its terms.
