Tweed Valley trails stay greasy long after the rain, with roots and slabs that punish a wrong line. In enduro that usually means a collarbone, a wrist or a knee. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for treatment, hospital stays and surgery after an accident.
Enduro stages often run well away from forest roads a vehicle can use, so getting to an injured rider takes time. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost organise your evacuation from the scene and your journey home, whether you live in Edinburgh, Lyon or further away.
Tweedlove isn't only a party, there's proper racing against the clock too. If you enter official competitions, the Competition option covers you in competition at the event and throughout the season, from regional rounds to races abroad.
Going over the bars on a steep section, or a hard hit to the head or back, can have permanent consequences. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid if the accident leaves lasting impairment, to help adapt your home or replace lost income.
In Scotland one shower is enough to turn a trail into an ice rink, and the weather swings fast between May and June. Many riders meet these roots for the first time on race day, with no practice and the wrong tyres. Then come back-to-back runs, end-of-day fatigue and the urge to chase someone faster.
The festival lasts a few days, but mountain biking is a year-round habit, at bike parks, in local woods or on riding trips. Solid mountain bike insurance covers you everywhere, in training and in races, at home or abroad and whatever your country of residence. It won't refund your entry or travel, but it covers you.
Tweedlove brings the British mountain bike community together around Peebles in the Tweed Valley each year. Expect enduro and cross-country racing, e-bike rides and a full festival atmosphere, with something for racers, families and riders who simply want to enjoy the trails.
A bike festival means several disciplines, several days and riders of every kind. We insure all your participants under one single policy, whatever the event. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7 for the whole festival, and repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also come in as a partner or sponsor.
Yes, as soon as you take part in an official competition. Without it, the policy covers training and free riding. With it, competition is covered at the event and for the whole season.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so entry fees, accommodation and travel aren't refunded. The policy covers what follows a bodily injury, meaning treatment, repatriation and disability.
Yes. Cover applies to training as well as racing, so your practice runs at Glentress or Innerleithen are protected in the same way as the timed stage itself.
You're treated in Scotland, with medical costs covered up to €150,000, and assistance arranges your return home at actual cost if your condition requires it, wherever you live.
That depends on your profile and the options you pick, including the Competition option. The online quote gives you the exact price in a few minutes, with no commitment.
