Weather Consideration
I understand this is a rain or shine event. Should inclement weather prevent a safe start, the event may be delayed for up to one hour. If inclement weather continues beyond one hour, the event may be modified, shortened or canceled after consideration in partnership with local authorities. I fully understand that there is no refund due to event cancellation. I also accept that an alternate date for the event will not be scheduled. I also understand that while the event may continue in the rain, each rider makes the sole decision of whether or not to participate.
Course Time Limit
I fully understand and accept that all courses close at 4 PM. If I plan to complete the 101-mile route, I understand that I must maintain a 14 MPH average, to include my time spent at rest stops. If I am unable to maintain a pace of 14 MPH, I agree to be taken by an event SAG to the next rest stop or to the finish line. Furthermore, I accept that some of the routes have rolling hills and I will not sign up for a distance of which I haven't prepared to complete. At the discretion of the ride director, the course or time limits may be altered due to weather or route conditions.
Event Liability Release
I understand that while participating in this event or in training programs and related activities (referred to collectively as “the event”), I will be using public streets and facilities where many hazards exist and I am aware of and appreciate the risks that may result. I am also aware that accidents may occur during this event, which could result in serious injury or death. I am voluntarily participating in this event with knowledge of all such risks, and if I am riding, I agree to wear a properly fitted and adjusted ASTM, ASNI, CPSC or SNELL certified helmet while riding.
I FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) BICYCLING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING VIRAL INFECTIONS, BACTERIAL INFECTIONS, AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND ILLNESSES, PERMANENT DISABILITY, 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 condition in which the Activity takes place, or THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE “RELEASES” 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, COST, AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.
Upon registering, I assume full and complete responsibility for any injury or accident which may occur during my participation in any Earn-a-Bike event, and I hereby release, indemnify and hold harmless Earn-a-Bike, event production partners for the Earn-a-Bike 100, the sponsors, promoters and all Earn-a-Bike officers, employees and other persons and entities associated with this event (all individually and collectively known as “releasees”), from any and all claims, losses, injuries, and liabilities, or damages (collectively, “Damages”) that I have or may have in the future based upon any acts or omissions, whether known or unknown, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, the Earn-a-Bike 100 event, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES BE CAUSED BY MYSELF OR BY THE NEGLIGENCE, OF ANY DEGREE, OF EARN-A-BIKE, THE SPONSORS, OR PROMOTERS, OR OTHER PERSONS OR ENTITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT.

I understand that a bicycle is a legal vehicle in this State and that I must ride in a safe manner. I further understand and acknowledge that cycling involves inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can eliminate, and I am participating in the Earn-a-Bike 100 event at my own risk.
I intend by the Waiver and Release of Liability to release in advance, and to waive my rights and to discharge all of the releasees (as defined above), from all claims, losses or liabilities for death, bodily injury, including viral infections, bacterial infections, and other communicable diseases and illnesses, permanent disability, paralysis, or property damage that I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of my participation in this event, EVEN THOUGH THAT LIABILITY MAY ARISE FROM NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, from dangerous or defective property or equipment owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault. I understand and agree that this Waiver and Release of Liability is binding on my heirs, assigns and legal representatives.
I am physically capable of completing this event. I understand that I may be asked to provide a doctor’s note or other proof that I am permitted to participate by my primary health care provider. If I am aware of or under treatment for any physical infirmity, ailment or illness, my medical care provider knows of and has approved my participation in this event. I will maintain personal health insurance while participating in the event. I acknowledge that I, and I alone, are solely responsible for my personal health and safety, and the personal property I bring with me. I will read the event description and rules for participation in the event and I will abide by all rules and regulations established by the event organizers and personnel as well as the local vehicle code. I consent to treatment in the event of an emergency or other incidents in which, in the reasonable judgment of the on-site personnel, I require medical care.
I understand that my name, photograph, voice or likeness may be used for all promotional and commercial purposes related to the event by Earn-a-Bike, event production partners for the Earn-a-Bike 100 events, and their sponsors, beneficiaries, licensees, affiliates and employees. I consent to and authorize, in advance, such use and waive all rights of privacy I have in connection therewith.
