According to Heather at The Wheel, if you don't charge a registration fee
then there is no liability on the club's part. She was the KCBC
tour director for 2 years so I think she knows what she is talking about.
I'll do some more research on the insurance/ liability issues involved.
We have time.
I like the idea of just guaranteeing
asphalt, convenience stores and a marked route. I think it will have an
appeal for a little different crowd than the usual club century rider.
We wouldn't have to put anything on the flyer as far as club promotion.
It cold just be a ride flyer. If people are riding with us
they will eventually figure out that it is LCC that initiated the ride.
Would we want riders to register for
a head count? I guess if we aren't guaranteeing any sort of SAG there
would be no reason for registration other than a count for some refreshments
at the end.
Dam lawyers! ...Cricket: Do you
know any of the legal issues surrounding such and event?

RE: [LakesideCycling] Sucky Century
I like the idea of advertising
as much as possible and keeping it based on donations, I hate paying to
ride, donations excepted! Not sure how much liability there would be for
LLC if it was a printed flyer. I would not think it would be any different
than the weekly rides issue. I am up for cooking pancakes again and
Nail and I can produce a GREAT metric and full century loop, complete with
asphalt and convenience stores!

I like the idea of promoting our
Labor Day fun fest............but then I'm not real sure what kind of liability
issues we run into if we start putting something down in print. I'm
not much of a "legal eagle", but always felt like nobody was
really on the hook for something wrong if we kind of did it all by just
passing the word around. I think we should keep it a free event
as you describe below, with guarantee of breakfast, asphalt, occasional
convenience stores, and beverages at the conclusion......just my
thoughts, for what it's worth..........Don

Subject: [LakesideCycling] Sucky Century
Thinking waaayyy ahead for the
Sucky Century. I am trying out the
Database function on the group site. It looks like it will work for a
projected rider count for the event.
I just want to put the concept out of putting up flyers in bike shops
for this event to promote it a bit. Should we make it a free event
with a good will donation for food for a couple of sags or just make
it a ride that just guarantees that there will be riders, gas
stations, and a marked route? Kind of BYOB (bring your own bike and
ride)event with no registration, fees or promises of anything other
than asphalt, but with an official start time, route, and a likely
turnout of more riders than the average weekend club ride.
(Sample) Flyer promotional statement: "Tired of paying fees all summer
long to ride 60 or 100 miles? Come ride the Sucky Century for FREE!
There is a chance it may suck, but what the heck...you and your
riding buddies won't be out any beer money to ride it."
