Cycling Ulster were saddened to learn of the passing of Square Wheelers Committee member, Simon Acheson on Sunday. Cycling Ulster would like to express our condolences to Simon’s family, friends and club mates at this difficult time.

Cycling Ulster Assistant Chairman, Tommy McCague who recently had the honour of cycling with Simon in Donegal at a supporting Ovarian CancerĀ event organized by another member of Square Wheelers said “Simon was a gentleman, always looking out for his fellow cyclists, a very unassuming man who loved life. The sport has lost a dear friend, the CU executive and the wider cycling community pass on our sympathies to his family and his club, Square Wheelers.”

Simon’s funeral takes place in St. Patrick’s Church of Ireland, Benburb at 2.30pm on Thursday.
