For anyone interested in the “bicycle accident insurance” please also check out the the “accident insurance” offered as a benefit to members of USA Cycling. It’s offered by Adventure Advocates.
It covers ANY kind of accident not just bicycle related, and if I remember correctly, is similar in rates. It also can be combined with your regular insurance as a supplement.

I don’t work for USA Cycling, but when I didn’t have health insurance I used that option and it really worked great. Very easy to set-up, etc.

I hope the Southern California Enduro Series is a hit. We need more localized(?) events like this to keep people interested in riding and competing.
