Meet the riders: Malgorzata Ryfa, Segro

Malgorzata Ryfa is Manager, Property Management, in pedElle partner Segro's Silesia office in Poland. She'll be joining this year's pedEllers in Poland and riding with them for the duration. 

How long have you been cycling and how did you get into it?                  
I did cycling from when I was a child but it was always only recreationally. My true cycling started a couple of months ago when I decided to take part in pedElle. Originally, I wanted to be involved only in the first day of pedElle but finally I decided to take part in the whole event.

How did you get involved in pedElle?                                                           
Our marketing manager Dominika sent an email to the Polish Segro ladies in February about the event and I thought why not try…

What are you most looking forward to? And what are you dreading?    
I am very interested to see what it's like riding in the peloton – I never tried. I am afraid I will not manage to ride all the hills.

How are you approaching training?                                                              
I have treated training very seriously, so I have subordinated all daily duties to cycling.

Any top tips you’ve picked up that you’ll take with you on the ride?        
Use every possibility to take a rest (during the ride), think about relaxing your muscles, drink whenever you need it, and take snacks to stay energized.

What would you most like to get out of the event?                                     
To continue cycling.

What business connections would you like to make on the event?         
Any business connections are good to make.
