Terms and conditions

General

  • Our trips are recreational events, NOT competitive events.

If you are prone to insect bites, please wear clothing that covers your skin and/or use insect repellent, creams, etc.

Only if there is a unanimous decision from the group.
  • The transportation service will be provided by vans equipped with bicycle transport systems. We will confirm the time, vehicle details, and the driver who will be transporting you via email or WhatsApp.

Participant's responsibility

  • Bring your own hydration system (water bottle or Camelbak) as the climate is humid and warm, and the chances of dehydration are high. The organization will provide hydration.
  • Perform prior maintenance on bicycles, especially the brake and transmission systems; as we will be riding on roads with a lot of mud and steep descents.
  • The participant declares themselves physically fit to undertake the itinerary determined by the organization, participating voluntarily and at their own responsibility. They acknowledge and understand the magnitude, nature, and scope of the activities, as well as the risks and dangers involved. The participant understands and accepts that mountain biking is an inherently risky activity, and therefore, the organizers, directors, collaborators, sponsors, and owners of fields and facilities where the activities take place are not liable for any resulting injuries.
  • Each participant stated on the registration form that they are currently covered by an health insurance provider. The organization has an accident insurance policy for each participant. This policy reimburses expenses incurred due to an accident during the event, provided that the person has the necessary payment receipts and medical records, which must be submitted to the offices of Colasistencia insurance.
  • Participants must comply with traffic rules and follow the instructions of the guide or group leader at all times.

  • It is important to carry lights or illuminators for visibility, as there is a possibility that we will be riding in cloudy areas.
  • During descents, you will encounter several tight curves. Do not underestimate them. ALWAYS signal whether you are passing on the right or left. There are long descents, if your hands get tired or you need to stop for any reason, REMEMBER NOT TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, BUT GRADUALLY AND MOVE TO THE SIDE. Never stay in the middle of the road, as it can cause an accident. Remember that we will be traveling on some rural roads where vehicles and motorcycles are present. Always exercise caution and, if possible, inform the person behind you that a vehicle is approaching.
  • Overtaking the front leaders is not allowed.
  • If an accident occurs, do not move the person and notify the organization.
