As a member of West River Racing, I have read, understand, and accept my responsibilities and commitments as a Team Member (below) and I agree to abide by these at all times.

Assumption of Risk: I am aware that bicycling carries inherent risks, including but not limited to the potential for accidents, physical injuries, equipment damage, and other unforeseen consequences. I understand these risks and voluntarily choose to participate, thereby assuming all associated risks. *
Membership and Responsibilities: I understand that my membership in the team may be revoked at any time, at the discretion of the team's Board of Directors. Failure to abide by the following rules and responsibilities will be grounds for revoking my membership. I also understand that my membership in the club must be renewed each year.

As a member of West River Racing I commit to contributing my time and energy to assist with Team activities during the year. For the coming year, I agree to help and volunteer for at least two four-hour shifts at an official team event, such as our annual road race and our annual cyclocross race.

I also understand and agree that as a condition of membership, I will own at least one West River Racing jersey of the current kit design. If I do not own one, I will purchase one to wear on group rides. *
Route Selection: I understand that West River Racing and its ride leaders, in their sole discretion, may use many different factors to select a particular route for its various benefits, such as training effectiveness or destination access, and may not prioritize or guarantee the safety of the chosen route. I agree to accept any risks associated with the selected route. I know that I do not have to proceed with a given route, and that I am free to stop or separate from the group at any time. *
Skill Affirmation: I affirm that I possess the necessary skills and abilities to safely participate in group bicycle rides. *
Equipment and Conduct: I affirm that my bicycle is in a safe, well-maintained condition suitable for the rides I choose to participate in, and is equipped with both front and rear brakes. I commit to wearing a helmet during group rides. I will not use headphones or talk on a phone while riding. I will not ride a fully aero (TT bar) bike on group rides. I will be respectful and courteous, and will listen to and follow the instructions of ride leaders and other West River Racing cyclists. *
Compliance with Laws and Directions: I agree to comply with all applicable traffic laws and regulations, heed the instructions of ride leaders, and conduct myself in a safe and predictable manner throughout the duration of group rides and during team events. *
Release and Indemnity: I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS West River Racing, its board members, ride leaders, members, and sponsors from any any liability, claims, causes of action, injuries, damages, or expenses, whether monetary or otherwise, arising from any incident that may occur during the ride or other team activities. This release applies irrespective of whether the situation resulted from the acts, omissions, negligence, or fault of the parties listed. I further agree not to institute any legal proceedings against any of the above as a precondition to my membership and participation in group rides. *
Media Release: I grant West River Racing and its members the right to take photographs and video footage of me in connection with my participation with the team and group rides. I authorize West River Racing to copyright, use, and publish the same, along with my name, in print and/or electronically for any lawful purpose, including publicity, illustration, advertising, social media, and web content. *
Age Verification: I affirm that I am at least 18 years of age. If I am under 18, I confirm that my parent or legal guardian is present, has reviewed these terms, and has consented to my participation. In such a case, my parent or legal guardian's name and signature also appear below. *
