SAFE CYCLING

  • When Vinnie started riding, people didn’t wear helmets.
    • He had a beer bottle thrown at him and bought a helmet the next day.
  • Definitely always wear a helmet!
  • Once Vinnie had his shoulder surgery, texting on the road became more prevalent.
    • He didn’t want to put his life into the hands of texting drivers.
  • Mountains with lots of trees were also dangerous.
  • However, now, where he lives there are LOTS of gravel roads.
    • Vinnie plans on picking up mountain bike riding on these roads again soon.
  • He’s going to train for one of these gravel riding competitions.
    • He wants to do one of these before the end of 2021.

WAKING UP RUNNING

  • You have to work your hardest to be the best.
  • Failure quotients matter.
    • the number of times you can fail and come back mean something.
  • Commit to it so every day you can wake up running.

SUBWAY SUGARY BREAD

  • A court in Ireland found that Subway bread cannot be considered simply bread.
    • Normal bread gets a tax break.
  • However, their bread is FULL of sugar.
    • So, no tax break for them.
  • Look –– all bread is bad. Your body will treat it like sugar.
    • This is, however, a step in the right direction.
