DH & I want to do a 32 mile ride next month and the sponsoring club has a liability waiver they want us to sign. This is reasonable. What I don't find reasonable is this line in the waiver (red emphasis mine):
This release is intended to discharge, in advance, "Bike Club" its successors and assigns, the promoters, the sponsors, the officials and any involved municipalities or other public entities (and their respective agents, directors, employees, members, successors and assigns) from and against any liabilities arising out of or connected with in any way with my participation in any and all "Bike Club" activities and events, even though that liability may arise out of negligence ore carelessness on the part of the persons or entities mentioned above.
I understand that they don't want any lawsuits, but even if the negligence or carelessness is on their part?I know this a CYA paragraph, but this seems extreme to me.
Is this common language in these waivers?

"A bicycle does get you there and more. And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun."
