[pct-l] Travel insurance for upcoming thru?

[David Lippke]

Hi, Andrew.   If you find something useful, please let me know.   I went
through this drill for our first cycling tour and came away empty-handed.
I had signed up with WorldNomads.com only to find out in the policy fine
print that they did not cover things like hiking and cycling *if* they were
the primary activity of the trip.  Prior to my receipt of the actual policy
it looked like the case was just the opposite -- that they were happy to
insure all manner of high risk activity, and they were, just not as a
primary activity of the trip.  As I was cancelling the policy I discovered
that this exception is common among carriers.   Be careful that you don't
waste your dollars.

See  you on the trail, David - White Jeep
