⚠️ RIDER DISCLAIMER & TERMS

By taking part in the Elsie’s Story Ride Challenge, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. SELF-DIRECTED RIDE

The Elsie’s Story Ride Challenge is a non-marshalled, self-directed motorcycle challenge. There is no organised convoy, prescribed start time, lead rider, following rider or controlled route.

Riders may start from wherever and whenever they choose and are responsible for planning their own journey between the designated waypoints.

2. RIDING TOGETHER

Riders are welcome to ride with friends, family, clubs or other participants. However, any decision to ride together is entirely voluntary and is undertaken at the riders’ own risk.

The organisers do not form, lead, control or supervise any riding group.

3. WAYPOINTS

The organisers provide a number of suggested waypoints for riders to visit as part of the challenge.

Waypoints are destinations only and no specific route is prescribed or required. Riders are responsible for determining their own routes, start times, fuel stops, food stops and rest breaks.

Riders must take appropriate care when stopping at any waypoint and must not obstruct or endanger other road users, pedestrians, businesses or members of the public.

4. RIDER & MOTORCYCLE RESPONSIBILITY

Every rider is responsible for their own safety and for ensuring that they are legally entitled and appropriately equipped to ride their motorcycle on public roads.

Each rider must:

• Hold the appropriate and valid motorcycle driving licence.
• Ensure their motorcycle is road legal, properly maintained and roadworthy.
• Ensure the motorcycle is taxed and insured as required by law.
• Ensure a valid MOT is in place where legally required.
• Comply with the Highway Code and all applicable road traffic laws.
• Wear appropriate motorcycle protective clothing and equipment.
• Carry suitable emergency contact/ICE information.
• Ride within their own experience, ability and capabilities.

5. RESPONSIBLE RIDING

Participants are expected to ride responsibly and courteously at all times.

The following behaviour is strictly prohibited as part of the challenge:

• Rev bombing
• Burnouts
• Wheelies
• Dangerous or reckless riding
• Excessive or unnecessary engine revving
• Deliberate antisocial behaviour
• Any activity likely to cause danger, nuisance, alarm or distress to members of the public or other road users.

The Elsie’s Story Ride Challenge must not be used as an excuse for irresponsible or unlawful riding.

6. CLOTHING, PATCHES & SIGNS

Participants must not display or brandish anything that is unlawful or reasonably likely to cause offence, intimidation, alarm or distress to members of the public.

7. WEATHER & SAFETY

Participants are responsible for making their own assessment of weather and road conditions before and during their ride.

The organisers and/or Elsie’s Story Charity reserve the right to postpone, cancel or amend the challenge where circumstances, including adverse weather, create significant safety concerns.

Where a future date is arranged following postponement, participants may be transferred to the rearranged event in accordance with the event’s arrangements.

8. NO SUPERVISION OR CONTROL

The organisers and Elsie’s Story Charity do not supervise, escort, marshal, direct or control riders while they are undertaking the challenge.

The organisers do not determine the route taken by any participant, the time at which they ride, the speed at which they travel, the groups in which they ride or the decisions made by individual riders during their journey.

Each rider remains solely responsible for their own motorcycle, actions, decisions and safety.

9. ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

By participating, you acknowledge that motorcycle riding on public roads carries inherent risks, including risks arising from traffic, weather, road conditions, mechanical failure and the actions of other road users.

You voluntarily choose to participate and accept responsibility for your own decisions and actions throughout the challenge.

Neither Elsie’s Story Charity nor the organisers accept responsibility for the actions of individual participants or for incidents arising from a participant’s riding, route, motorcycle or decisions.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

10. DONATIONS

The Elsie’s Story Ride Challenge is being undertaken to support Elsie’s Story Charity.

All donations are made directly to the charity through the designated JustGiving fundraising page:

The organisers do not collect, hold or process cash donations or participant donations.

11. FINAL MEETING POINT

A designated final meeting point will be available during the specified two-hour period for riders wishing to complete their challenge and meet charity representatives and other participants.

The final meeting point is not a controlled motorcycle event or organised gathering managed by the organisers. Any arrangements concerning the venue, including any display of charity materials such as a banner, are matters between the charity and the venue.

12. PARTICIPATION

By taking part in the Elsie’s Story Ride Challenge, you confirm that you have read and understood these terms and that you accept responsibility for your own participation.

If at any point you believe that continuing your journey would be unsafe, you should stop, alter your plans or discontinue the challenge.

Elsie's Story

"In July 2024, our world was shattered when we lost Elsie in the most tragic circumstances during the Southport attack. That day changed our lives forever, leaving our family broken.

We have established Elsie’s Story to continue her legacy and to spread smiles as big as hers. We refuse to let what happened define our little girl or our town. Instead, we choose to respond with love and positivity, the same love Elsie brought to us and those around her.

Elsie’s Story allows us to turn heartbreak into hope, bringing joy to other children. Our charity was founded to make grants in Elsie’s name, supporting young people and helping children in the community includes funding local projects, providing medical care and support to families and individuals, and contributing to causes that bring people together through joy-filled activities.

We are determined to make a difference. With your support, we can turn our vision into real, meaningful change. Together, we can continue writing the pages of Elsie’s Story, carrying forward her kindness, hope, and generosity."

Please buy your T-Shirt 

We would love to see riders wearing an Elsie's Story t-shirt over their bike jackets to help raise awareness of the charity.

These can be purchased here👇👇
