The rally is a touring rally without any competitive elements, based on a road-book and maps. Speed or timing will not create base for any prizes awarded.

The rally is organized according to the rules issued by the international organization for historic vehicles FIVA for a FIVA National Event, and is open for all FIVA classes A through D - meaning that motorcycles manufactured through 1945 can participate.

The event will probably be unsuitable for very old single speed motorcycles or with belt transmission.

If the event is overbooked the participants with the oldest motorcycles will be given priority. It’s the privilege of the organizers to decide who can participate.

The event will be run over four days, from Oslo or surrounding area to Trøndelag and back. The rally will be run mainly on scenic roads, many of them with gravel surface and of varying standard. Participants must be prepared for some difficult road surfaces and mountain crossings with low temperatures and alternating weather.

It’s therefore assumed that both riders and motorcycles are able to complete the rally which must be regarded as relatively demanding - also physically.

Accommodation will be in good quality hotels and inns, the participant fee includes all meals and accommodation. The participant fee per person (rider or passenger) and what it covers is communicated in the invitations for each rally and shall be paid according to the information given there.

REGULATIONS OF THE EVENT

Special section applying to the 2022 rally.

Per 10th September 2021

About withdrawal, cancellation, changes to the course, ”force majeure” and refund of participant’s fee.

Introduction
The "ride" is in principle an outdoor event. When we are not riding our motorcycles we must follow the current infection control rules when we stop to refuel, drink coffee, eat and spend the night.

The organizer
The organization Trondhjemsridtet 1919 (hereafter T-1919) which arranges the rally is a voluntary "non-profit" organization seeking to go in balance over time. The participation fee mainly covers hotel stays and catering for the participants. T-1919 will be financially responsible to hotels and restaurants (hereinafter the suppliers) before the race, how long in advance varies. T-1919 pays the suppliers with the participation fee and acts as an intermediary between the participants and the suppliers.

The organizer's starting point
T-1919 looks forward to arranging Trondhjemsridtet during Pentecost holidays in 2022 and we will do what we can to make the race a success such as the races in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019. We will as far as we can seek to reduce registered participants' financial losses due to possible cancellation as well as direct and indirect additional expenses that may arise before, during and after the race due to "Force majeure" or other incidents beyond our control.

"Force majeure"

Direct and indirect consequences of infection control measures are considered by T-1919 as "force majeure".

Withdrawal until the payment deadline

Until the deadline for payment any registered participant is free to withdraw from the rally. Failure to pay the participation fee within the deadline automatically leads to cancellation. In cases where the participant has paid the participation fee before the payment deadline, this will be refunded in accordance with the provisions regarding refund below. Cancellation must be done in writing by the participant himself directly to T-1919's board by the attention of be-granb@online.no or to one of the members of the board who must confirm this before it is registered.

Refund of the participation fee where the participant himself has withdrawn is made in accordance with the paragraph about refund below.

Withdrawal after expiry of payment deadline (participant withdraws)

Infection control measures, quarantine provisions, closure and other consequences in connection with infectious diseases may affect the participants' desire or to participate or the ability to attend and complete the race. After the payment deadline, T-1919 will have limited possibilities to refund the entire participation fee to participants who withdraw.

T-1919 will, however, seek to refund the participation fee to the extent that T-1919 at the actual time isn’t already obliged to pay accommodation, accommodation or anything else for the participant. Any refund will be made in accordance with the paragraph on refund.

T-1919 has no possibility to repay funds to the participants where the obligations towards T-1919's suppliers have been incurred for the participant.

T-1919 recommends that all participants take out travel insurance that applies in Norway and seek to cover any losses and additional expenses through such insurance.

Cancellation (T-1919 cancels the rally)
In the event that T-1919 considers that it will be impossible or very uncertain that the race can be completed with a sufficient number of participants, the rally may be cancelled.
T-1919 will apply to arrange the race the following year. Any paid participation fee is refunded according to the point of refund.

Refund
All refunds to the participant is done in Norwegian kroner (NOK). For payments made in another currency, it’s the amount in NOK that has been credited to T-1919's account at the time of payment that’s refunded. Any bank charges for repayment will be deducted from the amount refunded.


Change of route, restaurants and accommodation.
The planned route can be changed in the event that weather, road work or other external circumstances indicate that the road section is not passable. Furthermore, the trail can be changed in case petrol stations, restaurants, hotels or other facilities along the trail are shut down or temporarily closed. Such cases doesn’t provide a basis for a reduction in the participation fee.

Covid-19 and other epidemic diseases
T-1919 will facilitate that everyone can follow the current infection control advice during the race.

T-1919 keeps participants and staff lists with names and contact information so that we can assist the authorities in any infection detection. People who become sick before the rally must withdraw. Persons who are sick at show-up or fall ill during the race must withdraw from the rally and follow the quarantine provisions that apply.

Infection control measures, quarantine provisions, shut-down and other direct and indirect consequences of such circumstances may mean that T-1919 will want to or must amend the course, accommodations and restaurants and the standard of these. Such changes doesn’t provide a basis for a reduction in the participation fee.

Other
Pt. the payment deadline is set for 1 March 2022. The final payment deadline will be announced when you are notified from T-1919 that the registration has been accepted.
