Clark Cup–Masterton Sunday 14 April

Despite the current ‘cost of living challenges’ facing all community events, Bike Manawatu is 100% committed to ensuring the 51st year of the Novice Tour – once again provides a safe, fun, competitive cycle racing event.

We will adopt a high-quality assured approach in implementing the Local Roading Authority’s/Cycling New Zealand’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) standards which ensure best practices and rider and spectator safety.

If the level of community funding secured is not sufficient to contract in external road management service providers with the ability to stop/go traffic, the Novice Tour will proceed on a ‘local club racing’ model, whereby our team of trained/experienced road marshals will, where necessary, pause racing in order to give way to traffic and ensure rider safety.

Although funding external road management services with the ability to stop/go traffic is ideal, if this is not feasible – we are confident that the event’s ‘Safe Traffic Management System’ (STMS) will provide a competitive, fair, enjoyable and importantly safe racing environment.

Irrespective of which model of traffic management/racing is finalised, as with all CNZ/Bike Manawatu events, normal road rules will apply and a full rider briefing confirming the event rules will be provided to all riders prior to the start of each race.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In consideration of Cycling NZ Wairarapa (the organiser) allowing me to enter the 2013 Clark Cup (the event) I, the person whose name and signature appear below, acknowledge:

1. I am aware of the dangers of road racing and compete in the event at my own risk;

2. I have read and understood any written race instructions and acknowledge that all instructions, whether written or verbal, are clear and unambiguous;

3. The organisers have done their best to make the event as safe as they can taking into account the restrictions imposed by authorities on road closures and the fact that the organisers cannot control every eventuality;

4. I must obey the road rules and, in particular, must stay to the left of the centre line;

5. Even where there is a road closure, there is no guarantee that other members of the public will necessarily respect the road closure or obey the road rules;

6. If I am involved in an accident, I will not seek to blame or make a claim against the organisers. Nor will I assist anyone else in making such a claim;

7. If I have any concerns with the race organisation, I will raise them with the organiser first. I will not raise them with any other person, recognising that I will only jeopardise the continuation of the event;

8. This acknowledgement is intended to be binding on my relatives, personal representatives, heirs and successors.
