TT2000 Rules & Disclaimer Of Liability

 

This page backgrounds the (unfortunate) steps we have to take to avoid liability. The following points are in a disclaimer form you are asked to sign before you set out on Day 1. It would save a lot of time if you read through it now and understood the points. Sorry but we're unable to amend this form. If you're unhappy about signing it then it will be a problem for you at the checkpoint. Each rider must sign before receiving their starting ticket.

The key points about the TT2000 are:

  • you participate at your own risk
  • it is assumed you have assessed your ability to finish the distance in the time allowed and you have chosen to participate because you believe you can do it
  • the distance and the time window have been designed so that you do not have to break the law, you can afford micro rests and you are not racing anyone else
  • you can just pull out any time you like, there is no monetary forfeiture to entice you to stay in and at all times on the bike you are expected to be responsible for your own well-being
  • there is no prize for finishing other than an option to purchase a souvenir 'achiever's pack' if you want to take home a rally memento
  • the TT Flyer clip-ons are completely optional and again it assumed you will exercise personal discretion whether you do any or all of them
  • while the routes are set for both days and the event is on regardless of weather, you exercise personal responsibility for research into weather, road conditions and fuel availability vs capability for your bike
