Some of these risks include the inherent risks associated with bicycling such as falling and coming into contact with other bicyclists and latent or apparent defects or conditions in equipment or property, and passive or active negligent acts of myself, and other users of the route. I understand that the above list of risks is not complete or exhaustive and that those and other risks know or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated may also result in injury, death, illness, disease to myself or third parties and to destruction or damage to property.

My participation in this activity is voluntary and no one is forcing me to participate in spite of the risks. I understand the effect of this waiver and the acceptance of risk as to my legal rights.
