POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Personal Information


We will ask you for the following information as part of the registration process.

Personal Information

E-Mail Address(es)
Our primary means of communication before and after the event will be via e-mail. Please include both your primary and an alternate e-mail address if possible when you register.

Cell Phone
You will provide us your cell phone number when you register. Unless you provide us with your cell phone number, we will assume that you won't be carrying one, although it will be very helpful for us to know that for sure. If you get a cell phone after you register or your cell phone number changes you can always contact us and give us your updated information.

Distribute my Contact Information to Other Participants
You can choose to have us distribute your personal contact information to other participants. This option has been very popular since it allows you to be able to communicate with other participants before, during and after our events.

We have a strict "opt in" policy regrading distributing your contact information to other participants. We will only distribute your contact information with your direct permission, and your information will only be distributed to other participants and not to anyone else. Information for minors will only be released with the consent of a parent or guardian. All participant contact information will be distributed to all staff members for safety and on road communications purposes.

Special Considerations
You will also have the opportunity to let us know about any special food considerations you may need (such as food allergies, lactose intolerant, vegetarian/vegan, Kosher, etc.) and any additional considerations you may need (such as special lodging requirements, travel plans, boxed bike shipments, transportation of bike trailers or shipping containers, CPAP machine, disability accommodations, etc.) We will make every reasonable attempt to try to accommodate your needs but cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Emergency Contact Information
Although it is not required, you will have the opportunity to list someone for us to contact in case of an emergency.

Agreement, Waiver & Release Of Liability
All participants must sign our Agreement, Waiver & Release Of Liability before they receive any services. This includes all people who will actually be riding on the road, and any friends and family who are not but still receiving services from us. If you do not sign a waiver and liability release you will not be allowed to participate. There will be no exceptions to this policy.

Extra Services And Merchandise Survey
We are always looking for ways to improve the quality of our events by adding new services and merchandise items and would like to know which potential new ones you might be interested in for development purposes. However, we cannot guarantee that we will actually offer any of the services or merchandise items listed.

Forward to 3rd party vendors
