Endura Ride Out

 Rider Information & Participation Agreement

 Welcome 

  Thank you for taking part in an Endura Ride Out. 

 Endura Ride Outs are informal community cycling rides organised by Endura. They are not races, sportives, guided tours, closed-road events, or professionally supervised activities. 

 Participants will generally ride together along a planned route on open public roads. Experienced riders may help maintain the group's pace and overall progress where reasonably possible. However, every participant remains responsible for their own riding, safety, navigation, judgement, and decisions throughout the ride. 

 Participation in an Endura Ride Out is conditional on each participant reading, understanding, and accepting this Rider Information and Participation Agreement in full. 

 Please read this document carefully before participating. 

 By participating in an Endura Ride Out, you confirm that you agree as follows: 

 Eligibility and Participation 

  you are taking part voluntarily;
 you are aged 18 or over;
 you are physically fit and able to take part in the ride;
 you understand that Endura may refuse participation or require you to leave the ride at any time if Endura reasonably considers that you may pose a risk to yourself or others, are not suitably prepared or equipped, appear unfit to participate, or otherwise breach the terms of this participation agreement. 

 Rider Responsibilities 

  you are responsible for your own safety, actions, and conduct;
 you will ride within your own ability and experience level;

 the planned route may be shared in advance, but you remain responsible for your own navigation should you become separated from the group;
 you are responsible for arranging your own transport if you are unable to complete the ride;
 you will inform the organisers if you decide to leave the ride or stop participating before the planned finish; and
 you will behave in a considerate and respectful manner towards fellow riders, members of the public, and organisers throughout the ride.
 Endura Ride Outs are community rides, and all participants are expected to act responsibly and with due care for the safety of themselves and others.

 Rider Welfare and Personal Responsibility 

  Endura Ride Outs take place on public roads and are based on individual rider responsibility.

 road surface conditions and hazards;
 weather conditions;
