It's quite common for travel insurance not to cover you during a race, and even during some specific "extreme" sports. Check the specifics of coverage of TA insurance. I once showed my TA m'ship card for a race in Switzerland, and it was accepted OK.
Also, consider getting separate insurance for your bike.
Cozemel and the Yacutan peninsula is a beautiful location. And even moreso down in Guatemala - where are you planning to do your MTB'ing? If you can fit it in, take a trip to a place called Lanquin in the Guatemalan mountains - it's hard to find, takes a good day on chicken busses to get there, but has a spectacular cave system, underground waterfall and a raging river. Great memories...
