Get to know Bryony…
To get to know our ambassadors we asked them a few questions…read on to discover more about Bryony…
What is your name? Do you get called by a nick name?
Bryony Botha
What motivates you to get out on your bike?
A nice warm sunny day is certainly a big motivator for me. I also love how riding a bike allows you to explore places you wouldn't usually drive to or see otherwise, and you get more time to take in the environment around you.
Who are your training buddies?
My dad and my team mates.
What name would you give your bike?
My bike is a Wilier so maybe William or Willy?
What's your favourite snack while your training?
Home baking like banana bread or cookies.
What songs are on your training playlist?
I have a long list of songs but my favourites that always get me hyped up are Bulletproof (La Roux & GAMPER & DADONI) and Numb (DJ YUKI Remix).
What is your favourite form of exercise other than riding your bike?
Hiking! I love being amongst the trees and hiking to the top of a mountain with a killer view!
If you could have a superpower on event day, what would it be?
Probably Turbo Boost like in Mario Kart.
When it comes to training, what’s something your brain tries to make you do and you have to will yourself not to do it?
Hold on to the back of a truck or car at a traffic light when it goes from red to green.
If you could go riding with a famous celebrity who would it be?
That's an easy one - Beyonce.
Do you have any pre or post event traditions or superstitions?
I actually can't think of any.. I don't think I have one for pre or post event but one superstition I have is that I have to get into bed the same side I get out of bed the next day or I will have a bad day.
What will you reward yourself with when you complete the event?
A day off the bike! and maybe a nice dinner out or some yummy takeaways.
