IN CONSIDERATION of being permitted to participate in any way in Almaden Cycle Touring Club ("Club")  sponsored  Bicycling Activities ("Activity") I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin:

2.    FULLY  UNDERSTAND  that  (a)  BICYCLING  ACTIVITIES  INVOLVE  RISKS  AND  DANGERS  OF  SERIOUS  BODILY  INJURY,  INCLUDING VIRAL  INFECTIONS,  BACTERIAL INFECTIONS AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND ILLNESSES,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 conditions 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 may incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.

HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Club, the LAB, its respective 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.

Code of Conduct By selecting "Agree" above to the right of your name you agree to abide by the club Code of Conduct:

         As a member of the Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC), I represent ACTC whenever I participate in an ACTC event, and/or whenever I wear apparel that includes the name and/or logo of ACTC.  Whenever I represent ACTC, I will:

- Practice good sportsmanship and conduct myself in a respectful manner at all cycling and non-cycling events.
- Abide by all relevant traffic regulations, respect the rules of the road, and ride in a safe manner at all cycling events.
- Inappropriate and unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:

  * Physical abuse to any person or property while riding or at any club event.
  * Use of foul language, making obscene gestures toward any person while riding or at any club event.
  * Malicious actions at a club event that endanger the well-being of others.
  * Unlawful activity, including theft or fraud, intentional damage to property; and use, sale, possession, or distribution of illegal drugs.
  * Non-consensual physical contact, threatening or bullying behavior, unwanted sexual advances, and any other disrespectful behavior.
  * Conduct that is hostile, abusive, harassing, or discriminatory toward others.
  * Excessive consumption of alcohol at club events or participating in these events while inebriated or under the influence of illegal drugs.
  * Other inappropriate conduct that reflects poorly on the club and/or upon cycling in general.
  * Repeated failure to honor commitments undertaken as an ACTC member.

Members who experience or witness inappropriate or unacceptable activity as outlined above should promptly report the issue to a club officer (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, or Current Past President). We urge that such reports be in writing, with a description of the incident(s), names of the individuals involved, names of witnesses, and include date, time, and location information.


ACTC members must be conscious of their role as ambassadors to the non-cycling and recreational cycling communities. The ACTC logo, such as on apparel, is an advertising vehicle for the club. Inappropriate behavior and/or failure to abide by bicycling traffic laws can be extremely detrimental to the club's image.

ACTC Membership is a privilege. Membership may be revoked, suspended, or denied if an assembled quorum of the Board determines by a 2/3 majority that a member is in material violation of this Code of Conduct.
