Em Alaric Mike or Mukesh,
Can you advise companies that offer the level of cover you require for your bike rides in Greece. Some companies cover for bike rides but not for downhilling. Not sure though if these companies understand what singletrack riding is and whether you have cover, otherwise riders could be for a VERY nasty surprise if something should go wrong.
Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon,
Emily may correct me, but as I understand it you need to make sure that your standard holiday insurance includes activity cover for activities such as Skiing, diving and mountain biking.
We have been in touch with sportscover direct and are satisified that they are able to offer the right cover - their link is on the links page of the Epic MTB Greece website.
We have also been dealing with one of Mikes friends who is an insurance agent and mountain biker, so he definitely knows what we need!
If you need insurance for your bike, check with your household insurance policy as they can probably extend cover to include damage and theft in transit.
Alaric. |

Emily,
The company with the link on your web page will only give your cover for 3 days at a time for adventure sports.

Thanks for that Jon.
I hopefully will have proper internet access in a couple of weeks.
I will then get rid of Insurancebookers and ensure that the Sportscover link works correctly.
Sportscover are very helpful. I have spoken to them on a number of issues and they know their stuff.
Em.
