As part of a recent application to increase my life & TPD insurance I had to fill out a questionnaire on my mountain biking.
One of the questions was in relation to racing, which I do rather poorly and very infrequently. I would say similar to a runner who enters the occasional fun run. Although, I understand that MTB has some higher element of risk; I would say a lot less that an overweight middle aged man entering a fun run or even those fat raodies doing a grand fondo or the like.
Cut a long story short, they have offered life & TPD insurance cover, however, on the TPD they have included a pastime exclusion on Total & Permanent Disablement resulting directly or indirectly from riding a mountain bicycle whilst training for or engaging in any race, speed or endurance trials.
Anyone else had this put on them?:frusty:
