In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the Major Taylor Cycling Club Los Angeles (MTCCLA) program, its related events and activities, I, the undersigned, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,

2. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEE(S), and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,

3. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with the ride course, and all rules and laws pertaining to riding on public roads. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my bike and equipment. I will ride wearing a helmet that satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for bicycle helmets. I assume all responsibility and liability for the selection of such a helmet.

4. I have no physical or medical condition which, to my knowledge, would endanger myself or others if I participate in MTCCLA activities, or would interfere with my ability to participate in such activities.

5. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the Club officers and / or ride leader immediately; and,

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS MTCCLA and their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors and advertisers ("Realesees"), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property associated with my presence or participation, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
