I acknowledge and agree that the MyRyde or Steeple CX events (“Events”) are a series of cyclo-cross style cycling races held throughout a calendar year, and that it is inherent in the Events that there are the risks of serious injury, illness, death and/or damage to participants, sports and other equipment.
2. I acknowledge that the risks inherent in the Events, include, but are not limited to risks arising from my skill and ability as a cyclist, my nutrition and fluid intake, my fitness and health prior to the Events, the terrain which the Events traverse, road surface, weather conditions, water conditions, vehicular traffic, the actions of other participants or spectators or bystanders, the Event organisers, operators, subcontractors, sponsors, service providers, suppliers, and their respective affiliates, principals, representatives, agents and assigns. I undertake and agree to seek medical or any other assistance from the Event organisers, if I sense or observe a hazard or unsafe condition, or if, at any time, I feel unable or unfit to safely continue participating in any Event for any reason. I furthermore undertake to withdraw from participation in any Event if advised or instructed by the organisers of the Event to do so or if I, at any time, sense or observe any unusual hazard or unsafe condition and I am in any way concerned that it is unsafe for me to continue with the Event, or if I in any way feel unable or unfit to safely continue with any Event.
3. I appreciate and understand the risks inherent in the Events and my participation therein. I accept these risks and confirm that I participate in the Events at my own sole and absolute risk.

Without limitation, if any Event, or any part thereof, is cancelled, postponed or otherwise amended, or if any of the amenities, goods or services in relation to any Event are no longer provided, whether due to force majeure, safety reasons, failure by service providers to perform, or any other reason or cause, entry fees contributed will not be refundable, and the decision to do so will be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Owner.
7. I understand that I may be photographed and/or filmed before, during and after any Event. I agree that the Owner or Operator, its affiliates, and their respective principals, representatives, agents, assigns, and designees (including sponsors) may utilise any photographic, film or video image or likeness of me and/or my name for any legitimate purpose (worldwide, in any media, and without payment or attribution) in connection with any Event, or future Events or races of the Owner, Operator or any of its affiliates.
