INSURANCE

You must have your own travel, medical and cycling insurance to cover you for this type of cycling activity.

Travel Insurance - covers you for the damage, loss, or theft of your personal possessions, your bike and any other items you bring with you.

Cycling insurance - covers you for taking part in this type of cycling activity. Please ensure you have third-party cover as well and additional medical costs. Visit the British Cycling or Yellow Jersey (use MYCYCLE10 to get a 10% discount) website for more information. There are plenty of other providers as well.

Medical Insurance - You should also ensure that you have cover for all medical treatment and emergencies you may need, evacuation, and repatriation back to the UK or your home country.

If you have travel insurance already, please ensure you contact your provider and inform them of your challenge.
