VALLEY SPOKESMAN RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

Revised 03/30/2021 TSC.

Each rider must read and agree to this release of liability agreement.

In consideration of my being permitted to take part in any VSBC bicycle event, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, waive, release, and discharge all claims for damages resulting from death, personal injury, or property damage which I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me because of my participation in VSBC events.

I understand this release is intended to discharge and release in advance, the Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Club, its members and their respective agents, officers, officials, servants, and representatives from and against all liability arising out of or connected in any way with my participation in a ride even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities involved. 

I further understand that serious accidents occasionally occur during bicycling events and that participants in such events occasionally sustain serious injury, sickness due to COVID-19 or any other virus or bacteria, death, and/or property damage because of that participation. Nevertheless, knowing the risks of bicycling, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns do hereby agree to assume those risks and to release and hold harmless all those persons or entities mentioned above who, through their negligence or carelessness, might otherwise be liable to me for damages.

You must wear an approved helmet on all club rides.

I have read this agreement and understand that it is a release of liability and a contract between me and the Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Club, and I sign it of my own free will.
