AGREEMENT: I understand that in order to participate as a rider in Braking the Cycle it is my responsibility to complete the $3,500 donation/fundraising requirement, in checks and approved credit card donations, due to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (“the Center”) by September 25, 2008 (“Registration Eve”), or guarantee the balance due by certified check or credit card on that date. (Crew has no fundraising requirement.) This balance due cannot exceed $1,500 in outstanding donations. I understand that donations made after August 31, 2008 may not be entered into my account until after Registration Eve and that I will be required to guarantee these donations by certified check or credit card until they are entered in my account. I also understand that if I have not completed the required donations by the deadline, I may make my own donation to the Center for the balance in order to participate in the Ride. I understand that failure to complete the balance of the fundraising requirement by that date will result in the forfeiture of my place on the Ride. I understand that all donations processed by the Center are non-refundable, even if I do not participate in the Ride. I certify that I will be at least 18 years of age at the time of the Ride. I further understand that I must provide proof of health insurance coverage (via a waiver to be provided to me before the Ride) in order to participate in the Ride, or in the absence of health insurance, must sign a separate release of liability prior to the start of the Ride.
