I freely acknowledge and realize the dangers of participation in RAIN and fully assume all risks including, but not limited to, collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other riders, and/or fixed or moving vehicles, other riders, sponsors, promoters, or drivers, and dangers arising from falls, road surface, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, weather conditions, as well as the possibility of physical and mental trauma. I understand that the route requires bicycling on public roadways and in possible bad weather and that cyclists have been hospitalized and killed because of traffic mishaps that are either their responsibility or others' responsibility and I further agree that I will bear all expenses incurred in any such accidents. I realize that the RAIN Ride requires physical conditioning and I represent that I am in sound medical condition. I have no physical or medical impediments which would endanger myself or others. I understand and agree that a situation may arise during the RAIN Ride which may be beyond the control of the sponsors, promoters or organizers and agree to ride so as not to endanger either myself or others. I waive, release, and discharge for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives (including successors), any and all rights and/or claims which I have, may have or may hereafter accrue to me against the sponsors and promoters of the RAIN Ride including the Bloomington Bicycle Club, Saint Mary of the Woods College, South Putnam High School, Plainfield Middle School, Franklin Township Middle School, Dunreith Fire Department, and Earlham College or their sponsors or affiliated organizations and their respective agents, officers and employees, for any and all damages, injuries or claims which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly arising out of my participation in the RAIN Ride. The above agreements and representations are my express understandings of the risks and I assume these voluntarily and freely without coercion or duress. This agreement may not be modified orally and may not be waived in any respect. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my bicycle, will wear a helmet as required, and will carry water and personal identification at all times, and agree to abide by the rules of the RAIN Ride.
