NORTHAMPTON CYCLING CLUB WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This is an acknowledgment, waiver and release from liability.
I acknowledge that a sporting event is an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits and carries with it a potential for death, serious injury and property loss. I hereby assume the risks of participation in bicycling training and competition. I certify that I am physically fit and have sufficiently trained for participation in bicycling workouts and have not been advised against participation by a qualified health professional. I acknowledge that my statements on this waiver and release from liability are being accepted by Northampton Cycling club (hereinafter referred to as “NCC”) in consideration for allowing me to become a member of NCC or otherwise participate in NCC events/activities and are being relied upon by NCC and its sponsors, organizers, administrators in permitting me to participate in any NCC event/activity.
In consideration for allowing me to become a member of NCC, and allowing me to participate in NCC events/activities, I hereby take the following for myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, and assigns, or anyone else who might claim or sue on my behalf, and I expressly acknowledge that it is my intent to take these actions:
a) I agree that prior to participating in any event/activity, I will inspect the course, facilities, equipment and areas to be used and if I believe any are unsafe, I will immediately advise the person supervising the event, activity, facilities or area;
b) I waive, release and discharge from any and all claims, losses or liabilities for death, personal injury, partial or permanent disability, property damage, medical or hospital bills, theft or damage of any kind, including economic losses, which may in the future arise out of or relate to my participating in or my traveling to and from an NCC event/activity, the following persons or entities: directors/producers, organizers, speakers, coaches, trainers, volunteers, and anyone else associated with NCC, and all localities/facilities in which liabilities are caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the persons I am hereby releasing or are caused by the negligent acts or omissions of any other person or entity;
c) I acknowledge that there may be traffic or persons on any course/route, and I assume the risk of biking or participating in any other NCC event/activity.

All such risks being known and appreciated by me, I further acknowledge that these risks include risks that may be the result of the negligence of the persons or entities mentioned above in paragraph (b) or of other person or entities:
d) I agree not to sue any of the persons or entities mentioned above in paragraph (b) for any of the claims, losses or liabilities that I have waived, released, or discharged herein;
