Event Regulations
All riders should understand that by entering the Cotswold Spring Classic they will be agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
- Participants will be responsible for the roadworthiness of their own cycle.

- No liability whatsoever shall attach to the organiser/promoter, promoting club/organisation, event sponsors, British Cycling or any event official or member of British Cycling or member of the promoting club /organisation in respect of any injury, loss or damage suffered by riders in or by reason of the event, unless such injury, loss or damage is proven to be caused by the negligence of the aforementioned.
