Required by the insurance company. See the link below. Waivers can be kept
for 10 years. I don't make the rules.

Call me stupid, but I don't understand...OK, the club has liability
insurance, but everyone has to sign a waiver of liability. What's the
point?

G's,
I want to update everyone on what our club has been doing to address the
growing pains that we have been experiencing.
Well, we are now members of USA Cycling. As a member, we can now get club
liability insurance through this organization. I have not received an
email yet from the insurnace carrier as a check was mailed middle of last
week but I suspect that I will get notice at some point this week that we
are covered for the rest of 2010.
Here is the link showing the kind of coverage we will have:
http://www.usacycling.org/forms/ClubInsurance.pdf
Now, since we will have club insurance, the forms that you all have been
signing the last couple of Saturdays are WAIVER forms. (Don't worry, no
one has signed over their homes). I have attached a copy of the waiver so
everyone can read it over. I will also attach or have the ride leaders
attach a waiver to each of their ride posts. This means that if you have
not signed a waiver yet, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE YOU PARITICIPATE IN ANOTHER
GYRO RIDE. You can either send me a pdf of the signed waiver via my email:
[email protected] or bring it to one of the rides and give it to the
ride leader. DO NOT assume that this will be the ride leaders
responsibility to make sure you sign a form. It is YOUR responsibility and
since ride leaders occasionally ride to a ride, I would suggest sending me
a signed form in pdf format. If a ride leader drives to a ride, I would
hope that they will have some of these forms on hand and will ask that you
sign one if you haven't already.
We already have about 40 signed waiver forms.
One note here for the ride leaders, (this includes ALL Gyro weekday rides
too): You are not held responsible for anything should a person show up
for a ride who has not signed a waiver. I know that question will come up
so do not worry as I have clarified this with the insurance company. If
someone has not signed a waiver and there is bodily or property damage and
they are not members of the club then they are on their own. No one is
held responsible.
Now, this note to the ride leaders above does open up a can of worms.
Question is, "Who do we distinquish as members of the club?" Since we do
not have membership dues, that is left up to my discretion. This is too
wide open. Basically, what I am saying is that we will be headed down the
path soon with regard to membership fees. I can not handle that on my own
and will therefore ask that if there is anyone who would like to volunteer
to head up a membership committee, please let me know offline as there are
things I will need to discuss with them. A club survives by volunteers so
PLEASE volunteer!!!!!
All clubs charge a membership fee to help cover expenses. We should be no
different. I was trying to hold off doing this for as long as possible but
we are just growing too fast and need to start acting the part.
I hope that I covered everything but, if not, I'll send an update. If
anyone has any questions regarding any of the above, please do not
hesitate to ask.
Thanks, Tony
