I agree to indemnify, hold  harmless, and defend Releasees from and against any actions, causes of action, claims, charges,  demands, losses, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, judgments, liens, indebtedness, and liabilities  of every kind, whether known or unknown, including foreseen or unforeseen bodily injury and  personal injuries and property damage that may be sustained by me or any other person in any  way connected to, related to, or arising out of my participation in the Event. 

Health. I represent and warrant that I am in good health and proper physical condition to  participate in an Event safely. I acknowledge that it is my sole responsibility to make such 

determination and that I am responsible for my well-being at all times while participating in an  Event. If I suffer any injury related to or arising from an Event, I consent to the release of my  name and medical information by any third party to Releasees and their insurance carriers. 

Rules; Regulations; Equipment. I agree to be familiar with and abide by the rules and  regulations established for an Event.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Severability. All provisions of this Waiver and Release shall be  governed by and construed under the laws of Colorado, without regard to its choice of law  rules. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement shall be  instituted in the courts of Chaffee County, Colorado.

I have carefully read the preceding and understand its terms. I attest that I am 18 years of age or older (if under 18, signature of a parent/guardian is required). I know that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue Releasees for injuries resulting from the inherent risks of cycling and the ordinary negligence of Releasees. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily. I intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent permitted by law. 

Participant is voluntarily participating with knowledge of the risks.  Therefore, participant (and parent/s or guardian/s of minors) assume and accept full responsibility for the participant, for the inherent and other risks (both known and unknown) of these activities and for any injury, damage, death or other loss suffered by participant (and parent/s or guardian/s of minors), resulting from those risks, and/or resulting from participant’s own negligence or other misconduct that may occur.
