Bill,

Sadly we live in a sue happy society and to some extent I can't say I 
blame the guy.  Reality is that no waiver can fully stop someone from 
suing they guy and in a case of gross negligence the waiver wouldn't 
help him.

I'd sign it to make him feel better and then not worry about it.  In a 
club ride your biggest worry is the idiot who doesn't know how to ride 
in a group and takes someone else out.
