Purchase of an entry ticket (priced at £10.00 per adult, £5.00 per child up to 16yrs and £20.00 per family ticket) via the charity’s dedicated Golden Giving ticket platform, by every individual participant, acknowledges full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions by the participant.

2. The participant is fully and wholly responsible for their own actions whilst attending the event. This includes the car-parking and entertainment areas, signing-in areas, likely refreshment areas and during the ride itself. The charity accepts NO responsibility for the actions of the participant nor the consequences of such actions.

3. Each participant, upon entrance to the venue, agrees that they are physically and mentally capable of riding the distance they have chosen. If, during the event, they decide to change their route and distance, then all consequences of this action are theirs and their alone.

4. Under 14′s have to be with an adult over the age of 18. No child under the age of 7 years old will be permitted onto the track. Under 14’s must be accompanied and under the surveillance of an adult / parent / guardian at all times.

8. During the event there will be warning signs at appropriate points on the track. Absence of these signs does not signal there are no dangers approaching and it is the individual rider’s responsibility to make a decision regarding whether to ride a section or not. The marking of the route does not necessarily indicate that the trail or road is ride able and the participant is deemed to make their own decision about whether to proceed on bike, foot or not at all.

9. A marked route is shown for as a set route only and event organisers insist that you use the route shown. Marshals will be stationed around the course, observing actions of event attendees, their word is final and all participants of the event accept their word is final as a condition of entry.

10. You are requested to ride in single file where appropriate and no more than 2 abreast at any time. Please be aware of your fellow cyclists and any other traffic. Please always indicate your intention to stop or change direction. All cyclists must adhere to and obey the Highway Code, always being observant of others actions as well as their own. Marshals can, at any time, give notice of the end of the event; even prior to arranged finishing times.

11. The charity reserves the right to shorten, alter or close the published route at any time without notice. Participants do NOT have the right to claim a refund if the route is shortened or closed.

12. Riders must be considerate to other users. Upon seeing other users, riders are required to slow down and pass with care.

This includes, but is not exclusive to, fees from Police, Air Ambulance, Fire and Rescue and the Ambulance service. If the situation arises that you are not capable of making the decision to call the emergency services, the rider agrees that a member of the charity or its appointed volunteer representatives on the day or a member of the public may call for them. In this situation, the rider still accepts the costs and consequences of such actions.

14. Each participant agrees to assign and grant the right and permission for the Muscle Help Foundation to use and publish any photographs/film/video/electronic representations and/or sound recordings of the participant on any activity at the venue. The participant hereby releases the Muscle Help Foundation charity from any and all liability from such use and promotion. The participant hereby authorises the reproduction, sale, copyright, exhibit, broadcast, electronic storage and/or distribution of said photographs/film/video tapes/electronic representations and/or sound recordings, without limitation at the discretion of the Muscle Help Foundation.
