I hereby forever release, waive, and discharge the “SLOBC” and their respective officers, directors, volunteers, and members connected with the SLOBC Ride (collectively, “Releasees”) from any claims that may arise out of or are related to my participation in the SLOBC Ride, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of Releasees.
3. Covenant Not to Sue and Indemnity Agreement. I will not make any claim against Releasees for injury, damage, death, or any other loss arising from or related to my participation in the SLOBC Ride. I agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Releasees from and against any actions, causes of action, claims, charges, demands, losses, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, judgments, liens, indebtedness, and liabilities of every kind, whether known or unknown, including foreseen or unforeseen bodily injury and personal injuries and property damage that may be sustained by me or any other person in any way connected to, related to, or arising out of my participation in the SLOBC Ride.
4. Health. I represent that I am in good health and proper physical condition to participate in the SLOBC Ride safely. I acknowledge that it is my sole responsibility to make such determination and that I am responsible for my well-being at all times while participating in the SLOBC Ride. If I suffer any injury related to or arising from the SLOBC Ride, I consent to the release of my name and medical information by any third party to Releasees and their insurance carriers.
5. Medical Treatment. I hereby consent to receive medical treatment which may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, or illness during the SLOBC Ride.

I will wear a securely fastened helmet, and I assume all responsibility for the selection of the helmet.
7. Use of Likeness. I hereby grant SLOBC permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video, or other digital media (“photo”) in any of its publications, including web-based publications, without payment or other consideration.
