By KYLIE WILSON FROM enjoying the great outdoors to spending quality time with the most important people in their lives, cycling is central to the lives of North East women Lyn McKay and Veronica Tyler. Both women are involved as volunteers at the upcoming High Country Women’s Cycling Festival, now in its second year, and both are passionate about the role cycling has played in their lives. Lyn covers many volunteer roles with the event, from decorating the venue for post-ride celebrations to assembling gift bags and encouraging fellow cyclists from the sidelines as they approach the finish. A keen cyclist for many years, she has been an advocate for the event since it was initially developed by Clare Holdsworth and Michelle Armstrong. Having spent months recovering from dilated cardiomyopathy and associated heart surgery with the support of friends and family, Lyn said her dream during her recovery was being able to complete her favourite ride up Mt Buffalo again – a feat she achieved last year. She said this experience means she knows firsthand the physical and mental battles ride participants work through to get to the finish line, and makes her determined to encourage each rider.
