I acknowledge that I have read the terms of this Release and have had the right to ask any questions about the meaning or impact of signing below. I understand that not signing this Release would result in payment of a higher registration fee to account for the costs of potential lawsuits and legal exposure. I have elected not to pay a higher registration fee ($500) and have chosen to assume all risks arising from negligent conduct instead of pursuing legal claims against the Released Parties. By signing below, I have negotiated the terms of my participation in the Ride by agreeing to pay the standard registration fee with this Release instead of paying a higher registration fee without this Release.
I warrant that I am competent to ride safely and that my bicycle and equipment are in safe working condition.
