GRAVEL BIRDS PAST EDITION PARTICIPATION *

What are your expectations or goals for this adventure? *

Do you have experience participating in ultracycling events or bikepacking adventures? Experience isn't a key factor to participate, but we would like to know more about you. *

From your perspective, what does the 'self-supported' approach mean? What drives bikepacking events to follow this approach? *

I confirm that I have read the 'Manifesto' and I agree with the principles, namely respect the local traffic rules, ride the route, self-supported approach, no drafting and no e-bike. *
I confirm that I have read - carefully - the 'GUIDELINES' section, which explores and details the topics of the 'Manifesto' of the event. *
I am aware that 'GRAVEL BIRDS ULTRACYCLING' (both routes) is an extreme emotional and physical challenge and I understand the risks associated with it. *
I am aware that 'GRAVEL BIRDS ULTRACYCLING' (both routes) is an event and that if I see it as a race/competition it is my own perspective/responsability. *
I am informed that participation in the entire briefing session - which will take place on the eve of the day of departure (Friday, May 9th evening 19:00-21:00) - is mandatory and that my absence will result in disqualification. *
Concerning security, I will use/have all mandatory items: helmet, reflective vest (nights and poor visibility conditions), frontal and rear lights (including a backup kit), emergency blanket. *
I am aware that the organization will assure personal insurance for accidents (expenses for treatment, repatriation, disability and death) during the event (10 to 15th May, both routes). *
I am aware that the insurance of the event doesn't cover any damage to my bicycle/equipment, as well as damages caused - by my responsibility - on third parties. *
I trust the organization to be able to take decisions that are not foreseen in the 'Manifesto', with the aim of ensuring the common good, as well as equality of circumstances among the participants. *
