Tour of the Machars Sportive

I declare that the information on this form is complete and correct. I understand that I participate in this event entirely at my own risk, that I must rely on my own ability in dealing with all the hazards and that I must ride in a manner which is safe for myself and others. I am aware that when riding in an event and particularly when riding on a public road the function of the Marshals is only to indicate direction and that I must decide if the movement is safe. I agree that no liability whatsoever shall be attached to the organisers or members of the organising organisations in respect of any injury, loss or damage suffered by me on or by reason of the event, however caused. I agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions.

As a Condition of Entry participants must abide by the following code:

The event takes place on the open road and strict adherence to the Highway Code is required. 

Participants will be responsible for the road worthiness and safe working order of their own cycle. 

The use of triathlon handlebars or other bar extensions is not permitted. 

The use of Headphones is not permitted. 

No accompanying vehicles are allowed to follow riders. Vehicles drawing alongside riders for the purpose of passing food, water, giving instructions etc. while on the move is strictly forbidden. 

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 in order of time taken. 

The wearing of helmets is Compulsory. 

All participants under the age of eighteen shall have had a consent form completed by their parent/carer. A parent or carer must accompany riders under the age of sixteen.
