Registration and payment does not equate immediate membership to the team.
In consideration of accepting application for membership and being permitted to participate in any activities of Cyclisme, you need to review and agree to the following:
1. I acknowledge that as a member of Cyclisme, I will represent the team, the sponsors, and the sport of cycling in a professional manner (to the best of my ability). Therefore, I must maintain a presentable appearance when possible, operate a mechanically safe bicycle and wear a helmet at organized (on bike) events. I will also represent our sponsors (including, but not limited to WORD Web Design, and River City Bicycles) in a responsible, law-abiding, respectful manner during training, racing and any other team-related activities.
2. I understand that I will race in a Cyclisme team jersey when participating in OBRA events, and when practical on Team rides too.
3.
I understand that the development and mentoring of junior riders is central to the mission of Cyclisme. I agree to support Cyclisme's junior rider development activities in ways that are complementary to my interests and abilities.
4. I acknowledge that Cyclisme supports a "drug free" policy. Use of illegal performance enhancing (WADA, USAC lists) substances are forbidden and will result in immediate dismissal, forfeit of reimbursements and return of any Cyclisme sponsorship products. Controlled recreational substances are also forbidden at any and all team events or when in uniform or when mentoring juniors.
5. I acknowledge, agree and represent that I understand the nature of bicycling activities/ training rides/races and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such activities. I further acknowledge that certain activities will be conducted over roadways and facilities open to the public during the activities, upon which the hazards of traveling are to be expected.
6. I fully understand that (a) bicycling activities/rides/races 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 on my participation in the activities of Cyclisme.

I hereby release, discharge and covenant not to sue Cyclisme, their administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, other participants, and sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which activities/rides/races take 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/we further agree that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT I/we, or anyone on my/our behalf, makes a claim against any of the RELEASEES, I/we 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.
