Pre-registration
UPDATE:

Ride cancelled due to underenrollment.

This is actually a doppleganger ride - a buddy of mine is leading an SF Bay TEAL Cyclists Ride, and I'm hitching along to try to get some RLCs. :-)

We'll meetup at the Fairfax Police Department @10:30am and roll by 10:45am. We'll climb to the Summit of Mt. Tam along Eldridge Grade, Indian Fire Road, Hookoo-eekoo, and Old Railroad Grade. Some folks may opt to take Eldridge straight to the summit for a more technical, although shorter adventure.

We'll break at the summit, and then descend East Ridgecrest to Rock Spring Road. We'll climb up, and up, and up, then descend Rocky Ridge back to Bon Tempe Lake. From there we take a few fire roads back into town for beer + sausages at Gestalt Haus (great vegan options available).

There is a lot of climbing, but no technical mountain biking to speak of. We'll be keeping a fairly leisurely pace, and will have some new riders among us. Definitely doable on a gravel bike, but you'll want a good granny gear, and the larger your tires the happier you'll be. I'll be on my XC Hardtail, because I think that's the best gravel bike for the bay. :-)

Please come prepared with two water bottles, flat repair kit, a layer, and plenty of snacks to fuel your legs. All the trails we're riding are good even in the rain, so we're riding except for in case of heavy downpour. If in doubt, shoot me a text.

Route. 24 Miles, 3.8k.

Release of Liability

Waiver and Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk Agreement, Parental Consent Agreement with Indemnity, and Other Agreements

This is a Release. When you agree to it, you forever give up certain rights to sue the persons and entities referred to in this Release. READ IT CAREFULLY.

"Grizzly Peak Cyclists", "GPC" and "the club" refer to Grizzly Peak Cyclists, Inc., a California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation, or its successor organization in the event that it should reorganize, merge, or change its name.

In return for being allowed to participate in any activity by Grizzly Peak Cyclists, Inc.:

  1. I acknowledge that I and other participants may be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury to me, including viral and bacterial infections, other communicable illnesses, permanent disability, and death. I understand that these risks may be increased through my own actions, or through the negligent action or inaction of Grizzly Peak Cyclists members or representatives. I therefore assume all risks of injury or loss, even if caused in whole or in part by the negligence of Grizzly Peak Cyclists, its members, or other representatives.
  2. I release from liability Grizzly Peak Cyclists, their officers, members, sponsors, and employees; and owners and lessors of facilities used by Grizzly Peak Cyclists, for any injury or damage that I may incur as a result of their activities, even if caused in whole or in part by their negligence.
  3. California Civil Code section 1542 states: 'A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.' I specifically waive the terms of that section, and agree to release claims that I may not yet know of, or which may be based on events that have not yet occurred.
  4. If I am allowing children under the age of 18 to participate in any activity, I agree on their behalf to the terms of this Release. I agree that if, notwithstanding this Release, I, the minor, or anyone on the minor's behalf makes a claim against any of the persons or entities Released, I will indemnify those persons and entities and hold them harmless against all expenses, damage or costs, including attorneys fees, arising out of that claim.
