With Tom and Nick, Simon spent many happy days in the French
Alps, climbing the mountains on his Orbea and pestering the
pro-cyclists of the Tour de France as they pumped to the top of
a haute cat climb or sped past for a time trail. Whilst Simon’s
favourite rider was the American George Hincapie – Lance
Armstrong’s right-hand man when he was on his winning spree –
his favourite team was Eustkatel-Euskadi. Whether his love of
this team of Basque riders was for their cycling prowess or
their bright orange and green team kit, Simon was never entirely
clear, although the majority of his wardrobe not to mention his
original racing bike stuck to this dress code. Therefore,
members of Team Zeemon will endeavour to adorn themselves in
orange and green to make sure that they always stand out from
the crowd.
Simon loved sport, was passionate about music and always enjoyed
a good pub quiz. Therefore, Team Zeemon are currently in the
process of planning a variety of events to reflect Simon’s
hobbies. The first is the Great Midlands Fun Run on June 10th
2012.
Team Zeemon will be donating proceeds from forthcoming events to
Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. Pancreatic cancer suffers
greatly from a lack of research and awareness; survival rates
have remained at 3% for the last 40 years. Therefore, we are
striving to make a real difference and be the BEST we can be!
If you can live with triumph and disaster and treat those two
imposters just the same. – Taken from If by Rudyard
