Remembering Maris Ozols

Submitted by heike on 3 August 2017

Maris OzolsIt is with great sadness that we announce the death of Maris Ozols, a fellow Wheeler, who suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday, 31 July 2017 whilst taking part in the RideLondon-Surrey 46 sportive.

Maris was 67 years young, very active, curious about everything and everyone. An avid cyclist, swimmer, skier and yogi with many diverse interests and passions, among them local history and culture, music, architecture and alternative technologies.

He leaves behind his wife Nina, four children and grandchildren. His daughter Katya has set up a fundraising page for contributions to the British Heart Foundation. Please feel free to give as much or as little as you can.

In due course, we will be organising a memorial ride in his honour along his favourite East London routes. Please keep an eye out for this on our events page.
