[Closed] MTB'ing trips to the Alps - travel insurance?

Just thinking about sorting out travel insurance for the forthcoming trip to the Alps, and spotted this small print on the quote for 'Sporting Activities'

[i]Regardless of the duration of the individual activity, cover is calculated on a per day basis and thus
defined as a minimum of one day and no more than 20% of the total Trip daily duration for ALL combined activities.[/i]

Do I read that that I'm only covered if I partake in the sport for a maximum of 20% of the total trip length? So, for a week's MTBing the Alps, I wouldn't be covered?

If so, any recomendations for policies where I would be covered?

If you break yourself on day one - no problem.

If you break yourself on day seven - you were just trying it out for the day, ergo no problem.

(As for all that bike kit in your luggage, you'll need to come up with a good story...)

I used Endsleigh for insurance for the Transalp which covered "cycle racing" and was pretty cheap (£25-ish for two weeks). I'll admit that I didn't really scrutinise the small print, so cover might have been null and void if I lost it on day 2.
