After retiring, the former nurse for 35 years, joined a cycling club and soon fell in love with the sport. However, five years ago she was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and worried that she would have to give up cycling for good. Thankfully, she was wrong.Glasgow Live caught up with Kath to discuss her love of cycling, the diagnosis, promoting more women to take up the sport, the upcoming World Championships and, of course, being the oldest person in her cycling team.
Five years ago, Kath was diagnosed with a rather severe case of osteoporosis and worried that she would have to leave her cycling days behind. “The main message is don’t give up, just keep doing things. Obviously you have to be cautious and a wee bit more careful, but it’s better to keep active.”She talked about her excitement for the Cycling World Championships that are coming to Glasgow this year in August. She said: “I think it will be great, to see the world's best cyclists in Glasgow.“So, I think having the world championships is another level, a step up and I think it will be a really good buzz and exciting to watch.
