Club rules

As at August 2024

As a member of the Wellington Mountain Bike Club Inc (WMTBC), you agree to the following rules:

  • I agree to participate in Club activities at my own risk. 

  • I agree to not take part in any illegal trail building activity.

  • I agree to the Club holding my personal information in the Club’s records and that my details may be shared with Mountain Bike New Zealand (MTBNZ) and Cycling New Zealand (CNZ). Read our Privacy Policy here.

EVENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

  • I agree to wear a NZ Safety Standards-approved helmet while riding.    
    (For downhill races, a full-face helmet is mandatory. Read Cycling New Zealand’s DH protective equipment technical regulations - go to section 6 of the regulations).

  • I accept the risks inherent in mountain biking and will not hold WMTBC or the landowner liable for any damages.    

  • I am personally responsible for ensuring my bike is secured when on transport and will not hold WMTBC liable for any damage.    

  • If you need to stop on a trail, pull to the side and ensure you and your bike are well off the trail.    

  • If you injure yourself or come across an injured rider, if it is serious, you or another rider must notify one of the event staff as soon as possible.    

  • I agree to abide by all rules set out by WMTBC.   

REFUNDS & CANCELLATION POLICY

If you are no longer able to attend (and notify us by the Friday before the event) or the event is cancelled due to bad weather or unforeseen circumstances – we are unable to provide refunds. Instead, we will credit your WMTBC account. You can use the credit to pay for future events, WMTBC membership or as a donation to Wellington trails.

UNDER 18

If you are under 18 years of age, you agree to supply the Club the name and contact details of a parent or guardian who will agree to our rules/terms and conditions on your behalf.
