Our guest this evening was a heavy smoker and in 2006 started cycling. Amir had no idea how much this would change her life. Amir has done a famous ride called the Golden Triangle twice. Riding from Banff to Golden in one day, Golden to Radium the next day, and from Radium back to Banff the third day. works out to roughly 100 km daily and has incredible elevations and scenery. Now Amir focuses more on trail running and includes strength training and yoga to keep on trucking. Amir has a goal of running a 50 km trail run in every Province, awesome. Coaching kids to help them ride confidently, Amir is a busy lady with her hands on many different things. Now she is in charge of this awesome ride in PEI called the Gran Fondo, the 11th year for the big ride across PEI. This ride has been designed to show the best parts of PEI and because it is a recreational ride you can stop along the way and visit local shops and experience some of the local cuisine. Friday, August 23rd to the 25th, register through Race Roster and hurry because there are only 300 spots total and it is filling fast. Amir and her group have thought of everything for the Gran Fondo and we are sure the event will go off without a hitch, I can't wait to hear about it after the fact. At the end of this episode, Amir shares a shocking story with us and I was left speechless. Luckily, Amir overcame all this adversity and has been killing it ever since.
