Kath Lyons
78-year-old LEJOG club cyclist
Kath’s cycling story started at an older age than most. An avid skier, Kath wanted to stay fit throughout the year, so bought her first bike for £25 aged 66, having never had a bike or learnt how to cycle as a child.
From learning how to ride to becoming a dedicated member of two local cycling clubs and cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats solo and unsupported aged 78, Kath has wasted no time in getting stuck in!
“Never having had a bike as a child this was a completely new experience and one that was to change my life. Sounds dramatic, but it's true.”
