I acknowledge the following: Cycling is an activity that carries with it substantial risk of personal injury. I am not participating in a bicycle race; I am participating in a personal tour. I will be operating a bicycle on public roadways that are open to motor vehicles. These activities will result in my exposure as a bicycle rider to motor vehicle traffic. These roadways will not be marked with signage or ride workers to indicate the presence of bicycle riders to motor vehicle operators. At all times, I will comply with all applicable laws as they relate to the operation of bicycles on public roadways. Failure to do so is unlawful and inherently unsafe, and may result in immediate ride disqualification. I understand that physical conditions on public roadways are variable and subject to change at any time without notice to organizers, bicycle riders, or motor vehicle operators. I understand that inclement weather can occur at any time and may adversely affect safety of bicycle riders and motor vehicle operators on public roadways. If I feel unsafe riding a bicycle at any time for any reason during any Denali Randonneurs activity I will immediately stop riding and exit the road. Ultimately, the decision to operate my bicycle on any roadway while participating in any Denali Randonneurs activity rests solely with me, as do any potential consequence(s) of that decision. I understand that riders can do everything correctly -- and accidents can still occur. I agree to hold harmless RUSA, Denali Randonneurs, their organizers, and their volunteers as a condition of my participation in Denali Randonneurs events.
