MiG is a cyclotourism event in free excursion on trails, dirt roads and secondary paved roads.
The routes will be open to traffic and therefore all participants are required to comply with the Highway Code.
Participation can take place with any type of bicycle, but the use of racing bikes is PROHIBITED.
The biker must know:
That the routes are not marked and will follow the track loaded on the device
That he is in free personal excursion and travels at his own risk and danger

That there are no search obligations on the part of the organizers of the participants on the route, and that he undertakes to communicate his withdrawal to the organizer by calling or the telephone number indicated in the number plate.
The participant is aware that MAREVETTAMARE ASD is not a professional organizing body and does not act for merely playful and non-patrimonial purposes (1174 Cod.civ.); it follows therefore that the ASD is released from any liability connected to the conduct of the MiG and in particular from:

A physical preparation appropriate to the chosen route
A good knowledge of the use of GPS and orientation
To give help to anyone who is in difficulty along the way
To respect and keep clean the places crossed, avoiding throwing waste along the route and conferring them in the appropriate collection containers.
