Building teams

Today was "team building" day at work. My staff and I put together a bowling team to participate with the other dozen teams. I bowled a 165, 133, and 171. It was a swell time, though I wish we would have also played softball as in past years.


After the day's activities I went up to Quail Springs Mall to pick up and ship the pottery the girls made the other day. I wanted to also take the opportunity of a free evening to get some bike riding in, so I brought the bike along with me, though I wasn't sure I'd have time. And I almost didn't. I discovered once I got to the Lake Hefner trail that my bike tires were about half deflated. Crap. So I loaded the bike back onto the bike rack and went looking for a gas station with free air.

I was able to get back and had the time for the full 10-mile ride around the lake. Though I was rather beat by the experience as it had been since last summer that I had completed a loop around Lake Hefner. Really I would have rather done the 3-mile trail closer to home, but I thought if I drove all the way back it would burn too much sunlight and jeopardize my chances to ride at all. It used to take me an hour to go all the way around the lake, but it only took 50 minutes this evening, when I thought at several points during the ride that I was going way too slow to make it around in any decent amount of time.
