d) Briefings, signage, and course marshals, are a service to me and other competitors but are not a guarantee of safety;

l) To ride in a manner that does not bring cyclists in general, any associated sponsors, and MWCC in particular, into disrepute;

m) To refrain from any abuse, threatening behavior, abusive language or gestures to anyone including race officials, the handicapper, club members, volunteers, members of the public or fellow riders;

When you sign your name for your number you are agreeing to these expectations. Enjoy your ride.
