Coast and Clay Sportive 2024

All riders should understand that by entering the Cornwall Coast and Clay Sportive
they will be agreeing to the following terms and conditions:

• Participants will be responsible for the roadworthiness of their own cycle, which
should be in a good state of repair
• Due to the challenging nature of this event, riders should ensure they have a
level of fitness suitable for the route they are selecting.
• No accompanying vehicles are allowed to follow riders. Any participant failing
to observe this regulation will be withdrawn from the event.
• This event is not a race or trial of speed, but a personal challenge and as such
there will be no list published which sorts riders either in finishing time or
finishing position order. An alphabetical list of finishers and times will be
published.
• As the event takes place on the open road, riders must abide by the Highway
Code at all times. Riders should be aware that when riding on a public
highway the function of marshals is only to indicate direction and that riders
must decide whether the movement is safe.
• The wearing of Hard Shell Style Helmets is compulsory for all riders under UCI
regulations for 2012.
• There is no minimum age limit to take part in this event but under 16’s must be
accompanied by an adult, and all participants for the Epic, Extreme and
Challenge routes must hold a full price ticket.
• The use of triathlon handlebars is discouraged. However, where riders do have
them fitted they are not to be used when riding in a group.
• Riders participate in this event entirely at their own risk and must rely on their
own ability in dealing with all hazards, and must ride in a manner which is
safe to themselves and others.
• No alcohol is to be consumed prior to or during the event.
• No liability whatsoever shall attach to Cornwall Hospice Care the promoting
club/organisation, event sponsors, or any event official or member of the
promoting organisation in respect of any injury, loss or damage suffered by
riders in or by reason of the event, unless such injury, loss or damage is proven
to be caused by the negligence of the aforementioned. If riders do not abide by
these terms and conditions the organisers will make all reasonable efforts to
remove them from the event, and Cornwall Hospice Care will use all efforts to
restrict participation in future events of their ownership.
• By entering The Coast and Clay Sportive you agree to your name and any
photographs, which may be taken of you, being used by Cornwall Hospice
Care.
