present

Purpose: Fat Cake and Super Sprinkles pb Bicycle Law will be using proceeds from this contest to help increase FTWNB participation at the Hellyer Velodrome in honor of Ethan Boyes, our dear friend whom we miss very much. Every dollar we receive above the cost of presenting this challenge will go towards this endeavor.

 

Contest Description #1: Compete against your friends and the public in an 8-segment Strava challenge. Segment efforts from all of 2023 up until October 1st will be counted toward your attempts to bake a perfect velo-Cake. http://fatcak.es/ (v.2023 in progress. In the meantime, please enjoy last year's contest results before they've vanished!)

Contest Duration: 1/1/2023 to 10/1/2023

Contest Rules:

• All participants must sign the waiver on the Waiver page
• The fastest segment of the year for each segment receives 1 point. The second fastest segment receives 2 points, etc. Athletes with the lowest cumulative points for the year win! e.g. A rider could conceivably record the fastest time of the year on all 8 segments and acquire 8 points
• All segment attempts must be uploaded to Strava within 24 hours of their completion
• All segment attempts must contain either HR data, power data, or preferably, both. If the use of a HR strap represents a financial constraint for you, please reach out to us and we'll make an exception!
• Rides may not be cropped. A segment attempt as part of a cropped ride will not count toward a rider's cumulative total points
• DO NOT even consider doing something unsafe like buzzing pedestrians or cars during your attempt. You have a long time to complete these segments so please ride conservatively and safely
• SSR reserve the right to DQ you from the contest and reimburse your entry fee for any reason, and DQs are entirely at our discretion (e.g. You held onto a car up a hill, or you disparaged the wrong pastry in front of strangers)
• All segment attempts recorded in 2023 count, even those made prior to the announcement of this contest
• Contestants must complete all 8 segments in order to be considered for prizes, but of course, they do not have to be completed on the same ride
• Drafting people on bikes is legal. Drafting people in or on vehicles (and eBikes) is not
  

Contest Description #2: This year we will have a photo contest and award 3 prizes

Contest Rules: 

• Contestants may feel free to submit their segment snaps to supersprinklesracing@gmail.com and/or, tag Super Sprinkles in a post on IG with that photo. Please also hashtag @onecake !
• Participants must snap photos as part of their segment "attempt" (clearly, you're not looking for a PR with this particular attempt if you've pulled off to the side of the road to take a picture during one of these segments)
• Come October, we'll be collecting all of those photographic submissions and then having the entire Super Sprinkles p/b Bicycle Law race team judge them
• The photographs taken on each segment will be scored, much like for the segment contest itself, and then cumulatively judged to crown three total winners. Additionally, although you may submit up to 8 photos, only 3 of your photographs will count for this part of the contest. This means you'll have to ride at least 3 of the 8 segments, take a photo along the route, and submit
• Photographs will be judged based on creativity and subjective style points

 

Contest Description #3: This year we will have an "Ethan Boyes Total Cadence" contest and award 2 prizes, one for fast, one for slow

Contest Rules:

• Two "total cadence" winners from the segments will be named
• One participant who scores the "lowest total cadence" for all 8 segments will win a prize (and trophy? TBD)
• The entry who represents the highest total cadence for all 8 segments will also be a winner
• Time means nothing. Just pedal very slowly/quickly, using your best impression of a sloth or hamster

Contest Description #4: Total cumulative segment attempts

Contest Rules:

• Ride these segments a lot
• One prize for for male, one for FTWNB

WAIVER

Super Sprinkles Racing (“SSR”) RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AND PARENTAL CONSENT AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)

In Consideration of being permitted to participate in any way in SSR sponsored Bicycling Activities (“Activity”) I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin:

1. Acknowledge, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of Bicycling Activities and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activity. I further acknowledge that the Activity will be conducted over public roads and facilities open to the public during the Activity and upon which the hazards of traveling are to be expected. I further agree and warrant that if, at any time, I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.

2. Fully understand that: (a) Bicycling activities involve risks and dangers of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death (“risks”); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the “releasees” named below; (c) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation or that of the minor in the Activity.

3. Hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue SRR, their administrators, directors, agents, officers, members, volunteers, and employees, other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place, (each considered one of the “RELEASEES” herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the “releasees” or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim.

I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.

 

I attest that all my segment efforts will be in good faith and in accordance with the contest rules. Should I break this vow and instead choose to engage in shenanigans, I agree to be mercilessly ridiculed on my personal Strava page.
