- lose your balance;
- suffer from the effects of heat, cold, wind, rain and other weather conditions;
- suffer from physical exertion;
- become separated from the cycling group; and
- fall from your bicycle;
and these risks may result in death, bodily injury, disability, property damage and economic loss to yourself and others.
There are other risks to which you may be exposed. You should ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment, including a helmet.
