Conditions of participation in the ride

Apologies for the legal speak but by buying tickets, all ticket holders accept the conditions for participation in the ride shown below for themselves and for all children under 18 in their care.

I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:

I am aware that all outdoor activities involve a level of risk to personal injury. I acknowledge that cycling can be considered dangerous in some circumstances and that it can sometimes involve the risk of personal injury and loss or damage of cycling equipment and other belongings.

I understand and accept the risks involved with my entry to the 2026 Tweed Coast Pedal for Prostates cancer awareness ride (the Event) organised by the Lions Club of Cabarita Beach & Pottsville Beach (the Organiser). I have made myself aware of the locality, rules of the ride and danger presented in this outdoor activity. I realise that some of the route will be on public roads without traffic control and I will take care to avoid injury or damage to myself and others.

I will accompany any participant in my care under 18 years of age throughout the Event and confirm that I and any person under 18 years in my care have sufficient competence and experience to participate safely in the Event.

I agree to abide by all rules and reasonable directions of the Organiser of the Event and shall adhere to all safety regulations including but not limited to the road rules in New South Wales. In particular, I acknowledge that I must wear an approved helmet at all times while cycling during the Event. The helmet must comply with the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZ2063, be properly fitted and securely fastened. If I fail to comply with the Organiser’s rules and/or directions, I understand that I will not be permitted to participate or to continue to participate and no refund will be given.

I also confirm that I am covered by my own health, ambulance and public liability insurance and make it known that I do not require coverage for such risk from the Organiser of the Event.

I take responsibility for and hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Organiser’s event committee and its officers, employees and persons associated with it in relation to any event or omission which may give rise to a claim on my part in relation to loss, damage, costs, injury whether to myself or third persons or to property to the extent allowable by law. I take responsibility for my own actions or omissions and shall not make any claim against the Event, its officers, employees or persons associated with it on the alleged grounds of negligence, breach of contracts or on any other basis except to the extent of any legislative entitlements which cannot be overridden by this notice.

I waive, to the extent permitted by law, any claims, right or cause of action that I, personally, and each child in my care, and the heirs, executors and administrators of me and each child in my care, may have in contract and civil wrongs law for any personal injury, damage or loss arising from the Event.
