Terms and conditions
Most of these conditions are designed for your safety and the safety of others. In order to participate in the C2C 2008 ride, you must agree to the following conditions. Please read these pages carefully, they contain important information.
1. Registration Form
All riders must complete and sign our Registration Form, whether riding as an individual or in a team.
2. Exclusive C2C event
C2C The Ride is an annual fundraising event and all riders must raise money for the charities C2C will be supporting in 2008. Corporate and Rider Sponsorship Forms are sent to participants. C2C cycle event is an endurance sport and designed for fit commuter riders as well as hardened roadies. The Ride is designed entirely for bicycles and we ride 1500km from London to Cannes over 5 days in relays. The relay made up of three pelotons, will each ride 100km per day in two sessions. People who wish to ride for longer can do so by participating in the Go the Whole Distance challenge.
3. Charity Fundraising
We ask each participant to raise a minimum level of £3000 for C2C’s designated charities, over and above the entry fee. The entry fee ensures that the maximum funds you raise through sponsorship go to support the charities.
4. Safety
Cycling on the highway is a potentially dangerous activity and, although the organisers, managers and promoters of the Ride will do all in their power to make the Ride safe, all riders take part at their own risk. All riders must ensure that their bicycles are in a roadworthy condition before the start of the event, must observe the rules of the Highway Code, obey the Golden Rules of the road. This will be included with the Event Rider Pack sent to each registered rider in February 2008; for an advance copy you will be able to access the web site Friday 9 November 2007 and follow the instructions from Commissaire UK, officials and marshals.
NB: Neither C2C, nor the Ride Managers accept responsibility for any injury sustained or property damaged in the course of the Ride in the absence of negligence or breach of statutory duty on their parts.
5. Liability/Insurance
The organisers, managers and sponsors of the Ride cannot be held liable for injury, loss and damage caused or sustained as a result of taking part, howsoever arising, nor can they accept any liability for any changes made to the Ride for safety reasons, or as otherwise planned through circumstances beyond their control.
While we go to great lengths to ensure that the Ride is organised to enable participants to be as safe as possible at all times, we must make it clear that all participants in the Ride take part entirely at their own risk. You are therefore strongly advised to comply with our safety guidelines and to obtain personal accident insurance cover as well as adequate material loss/damage insurance cover in respect of your bicycle and personal property and any loss or injury you may cause to a third party.
6. Insurance
Holiday, travel, medical or bike insurance is NOT included in your entry fee. It is very important to get comprehensive travel cover for the trip. Cover for bicycles whilst in use or transit or during the event is also NOT included (check your household policy first to see if your bicycle is covered).
E111
You are also strongly advised to obtain an E111 form/card or now known as a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which, entitles you to reduced or sometimes free treatment should you have an accident.

Cycling can be very strenuous and riders must be in good health. Riders who have any doubt about their health, or have a medical condition that could be affected by exercise, particularly a heart condition, are strongly advised to obtain their doctor’s approval before participating. Your health is your responsibility.
