Eurobodalla BUG Rides Calendar - May to December 2012
 
Hi Pedallers,
 
Detailed below is the Calendar for the period May to December 2012.  Thanks to Tony Marland, I have again been able to incorporate the Monday and Wednesday Rides in the one document.  The Wednesday rides are generally shorter and easier than the Monday Rides.
 
This new Calendar again brings to your attention the fact that there are risks inherent in bike riding.  It also recommends that you have Public Liability insurance cover when riding to protect yourself in the case of litigation.
 
It also explains that if you are not already a full member of the BUG, when you join a ride, and sign the sign-on sheet, you will automatically become a Temporary member of the BUG, for the duration of the ride, at no charge.  This is necessary to comply with a requirement of the insurance cover that is provided by Bicycle NSW to protect the BUG as an organisation.  This BUG membership provides no insurance cover or benefits to the riders other than the ability to join the ride.  Membership of the BUG does not confer any membership rights of Bicycle NSW.
 
Having got all that serious stuff out of the way, the Calendar is below,
 
You will notice in the Calendar that we have a ride planned from Kosciusko to Tathra in November.  This ride involves taking your car and bike so you need to fill your car with as many cyclists as possible so that you can share the driving and riding,  (or if you are lucky, take a non-riding driver!).   There will be three overnight stops at Jindabyne, Bombala and Bega.  Planning for this will start in late July  
The Calendar also lists a possible repeat visit to Canberra in October.
 
I hope to see you on the scenic rides in the cycling heaven that is Eurobodalla Shire.
 
 
Cheers
Guy Brantingham

Important Notice

Cycling can be an enjoyable and exciting activity.  However, like many recreational activities that require physical exertion, cycling carries with it the risk of physical injury.

The risks associated with cycling include the risk that:

·         you may be involved in a collision with people, animals, objects and/or vehicles;

·         you may lose your balance;

·         you may suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;

·         you may suffer from physical exertion;

·         you may become separated from the cycling group; and

·         you may fall from your bicycle;

and these risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss to yourself and others.

There are other risks to which you may be exposed.  You should ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment, including a helmet.

By participating in the cycling activities provided by EuroBUG and the ride leaders and organisers, you agree:

·         to obey all Australia and NSW road rules

·         that your bicycle and equipment is in good mechanical order

·         to comply with all directions given to you by the ride leaders and organisers

·         to take full and sole responsibility for any person under the age of 18 years who accompanies you on these cycling activities;

·         that you participate at your own risk

·         to be responsible for assessing that your skill level and health and fitness is suitable for you participate in the ride

·         that the agreement for services provided to you by EuroBUG and the ride  leaders and organisers does not include any implied or express warranty that these services will be rendered with due care and skill or that any materials provided by EuroBUG and the ride  leaders and organisers in connection with the cycling activities will be fit for the purpose for which they are supplied;

·         that EuroBUG and the ride  leaders and organisers have no liability to you for personal injury or death arising from the services that they provide to you;

·         to indemnify EuroBUG and the ride  leaders and organisers against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense that may be incurred or sustained by EuroBUG and the ride leaders and organisers in connection with any act, matter or thing done, permitted or omitted to be done by you or which was in any way connected with your involvement in the cycling activities.

 

You are advised that a negligent cyclist could be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or third party (ie. a woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law.

Hence, cycling without Public Liability cover is not recommended.  Join Bicycle NSW http://www.bicyclensw.org.au  or a similar organisation for Public Liability insurance, or extend your household insurance cover to provide you Public Liability cover beyond your front fence, so that all riders are better protected.  Some house contents policies automatically include this type of cover.
