ASSUMPTION of RISK, and

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

I freely agree to and make the following contractual representations and agreements:

1. I fully realize the dangers of participating in bicycle rides, races, tours, and training and fully assume the risks associated with such participation including, by way of example, and not limitation, the following: the danger of collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other riders, and fixed or moving objects; the dangers arising from surface hazards, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, and weather conditions; and the possibility of serious physical and/or mental injury.
2. I hereby waive, release, discharge and covenant not to sue for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assigns, and all rights and claims which I have of which may hereafter accrue to me against Joy Riders, through or by which the events will be held for any and all damages which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly in connection with, or arising out of, my participation in or association with the event, or travel to or return from the event.
3. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with any rules of the Joy Riders, applicable laws, and any special event regulations.  I understand and agree that situations may arise during Joy Riders activities which may be beyond the immediate control of the Joy Riders members or event organizers.  I will ride wearing a helmet which satisfies the current safety certifications during all club rides and assume all responsibility and liability for the selection of such a helmet.   

I agree for myself and successors, that the above representations are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by agreeing to it freely and without inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.  

If I have listed any children under my membership with Joy Riders, I verify that I am the legal guardian of said children and that I agree on their behalf to these terms and conditions.

If I choose to ride with Joy Riders on a club ride but have not joined as a member, I am still bound by this agreement as a "Guest Rider."
