RECYCLERS PARTICIPATION, RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

I am aware of the risks involved in bicycling and otherwise participating in any San Diego Recyclers Bicycle Club (referred to herein as "Recyclers") rides and/or events and voluntarily assume such risks. In consideration of being permitted to participate in this and any future Recyclers event, I agree as provided herein and acknowledge that participating involves numerous activities, some of which may involve inherent risks or dangers, and that it is unreasonable to attempt to entirely eliminate such risks or dangers; and that property damage, injuries or death could occur. I accept any and all responsibility for all risks and dangers that may be associated with or result from my participation in any such activity.

I, for myself and my respective heirs, successors, and assigns, hereby knowingly and intentionally waive and release the Recyclers, its directors, officers, volunteers, leaders and participants (each of whom are hereinafter referred to as a "Released Person") from and against any and all liability, loss, claims, actions, causes of action, damages, suits, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) of any kind or nature, whether foreseeable or not (collectively "Liabilities"), resulting or arising directly or indirectly from my participation in Recyclers' rides and other activities, including without limitation any and all liabilities for damage, injury, paralysis or death to me or others resulting from such participation, whether or not such damage, loss, injury, paralysis or death results from the ordinary negligence of a Released Person or from some other cause.

I agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Released Person in any Recyclers activity from any and all liabilities arising or resulting directly or indirectly, partially or entirely, from my participation, conduct or misconduct in any Recyclers ride or other activity.

The terms of this Agreement shall be severable.

If participant is a minor, I (as parent or guardian), on behalf of the minor, waive and release as stated above and personally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Released Person against any claim for any loss, damage, injury or death said minor may sustain in connection with or arising out of this or any future Recyclers event, and against any legal or other expenses incurred by any Released Person in connection with defending any Claim by, or on behalf of said minor, for any such loss; damage, injury or death.

If I am, or my minor child is, injured, I consent to any emergency, and/or non emergency, medical treatment at my expense. I shall obey traffic laws and ride safely at all times, and I agree to wear a CPSC currently-approved helmet on all bicycle-riding activities.

By signing below, I specify that I am over the age of 18 and that I have carefully read, understand, and voluntarily accept the terms of this agreement (as specified on the previous page).

Disclaimer: All riders ride at their own risk and the Recyclers' Club assumes no responsibility. The club's (Recyclers') rides typically range from between 30 and 50 miles at an average speed of approximately 15 MPH. To the best of our ability, we try to keep the group together during rides by making route instructions available to all riders prior to the ride and by regrouping at various points along the ride. However, routes are subject to change without notice. All riders are responsible for their own actions and ensuring that they can find their way if they become separated from the group. Riders under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The club (Recyclers) makes no representations as to the safety of road, traffic, animal, or weather conditions. Further, no guarantees are made as to the level of difficulty, the accuracy of route descriptions and/or the availability of provisions or facilities on routes provided for club (Recyclers') rides.
