Safety Notice
Conditions
Cycling on the highway
is a potentially hazardous activity, and although the organisers
will do all they can to make the Bike Ride as safe as possible
all riders take part at their own risk. All riders are expected
to observe the rules of the Highway Code, to obey the Rules of
the Road (included in the Entrants’ Pack sent to each registered
rider) and to follow the instructions of the event organisers.
Neither the Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and District Round
Table nor the Burgess Hill District Lions Club (or their members
and other event organisers) can be held responsible for loss or
damage to personal effects, or for death or illness of or injury
to any participant, or loss, damage or injury to the general
public or their property. Organisers reserve the right to
refuse entry to the ride.
Your Health
Cycling can be strenuous
and riders must be in good health and reasonably fit. It is the
responsibility of all riders to ensure that they are medically
fit to take part in the Bike Ride. If you have a medical
condition which may be adversely affected by exercise
(particularly a heart condition) or if you are in any doubt
about your health you must get clearance from your doctor before
participating. If you are not a regular cyclist we recommend
that you take a bike ride two or three times a week for several
weeks prior to the event, gradually
increasing the distance you cycle. All cyclists are advised to
wear a suitable cycling helmet.
