RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY (Read Carefully Before Signing)

I, my minor child, and/or a minor child under my legal guardianship (individually and collectively referred to as “Participants”), intend to participate in Possum Pedal Bike Ride (the “Program”) which is being hosted by Graham Chamber of Commerce (the “Chamber”) Saturday, June 3, 2023.

Participants further understand that participation in the Program is completely voluntary, and Participants assume the risk of any and all injuries that may occur to Participants or their property as a result of participation in the Program, INCLUDING INJURIES THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE CHAMBER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE.

Equipment

Participants understand and agree that the Chamber is in no way responsible for installing, delivering, repairing, reclaiming, disposing of, maintaining, or replacing any equipment for Participants’ use during the Program. It is Participants’ sole responsibility to maintain, repair, and safely dispose of any and all equipment needed for Participants’ participation in the Program.

Participants understand and agree that this Release discharges the Indemnitees from any liability or claim that Participants may have against the Indemnitees with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from Participants’ participation in the Program, howsoever arising or caused, including THROUGH THE NEGLIGENCE OF INDEMNITEES. Participants expressly waive any right to a trial by judge or jury that Participants may otherwise have with regard to any claim or liability related to Participants’ participation in the Program.

Medical Treatment

Medical Treatment. Participants consent to receive emergency medical treatment in the event of illness or injury and release and forever discharge the Indemnitees from any liability or claim whatsoever which arises or may later arise on account of any medical services rendered in connection with an emergency during Participants’ participation in the Program.


Participants agree to carry a form of identification, detailing any potentially relevant medical conditions and/or allergies at all times during the Possum Pedal Bike Ride.

Photo and Media Release.

Participants grant to the Chamber all right, title, and interest in any and all photographs, images, video, or audio recordings of Participants or Participants’ likeness or voice made by the Chamber in connection with the Program.

The Possum Pedal takes you back in time when life was a little slower and everyone greeted you with a smile. This year has routes of 6, 27, 42, 50, 61, and 74 miles traveling Southwestern Young County, including Graham, Olney, Jermyn, Bryson, and historic Fort Belknap. The terrain is rolling hills, smooth roads, and some of the most beautiful scenery in Texas. It is a great warm-up ride for The Hotter N Hell or a great way to just come out and enjoy a day away from the big city crowd.
The Possum Pedal Bike Ride begins at 7:00 a.m. in the historic Downtown Square. Rest stops are plentiful and ride support is strong.
