Bulls and Biking in Durham

We had a couple fun activities in Durham this past Friday and Saturday evening.

Friday:


A group from work met for a night at the Durham Bulls, the triple A minor league team in our area. I work with wonderful people that are supportive and fun. I enjoyed meeting my co-workers significant others and seeing everybody relaxed outside of work It was such a pleasant evening. We spent most of the time visiting. The Bulls did win 10-5. Being at a baseball game on a warm summer night is such a treat.

Whenever a home run was hit the Bull in the outfield's eyes would turn red and he would spew steam out of his nostrils like this:

After the game they had Fireworks:




Saturday:

We took off on our bicycles on The American Tobacco Trail. They converted an old train line into a paved trail. There are tall trees and Kudzu on both of the sides along most of the trail. The segment we went on was about six miles each way. It started by the freeway and ended at the Stadium. It was a wonderful evening and it was great to get some exercise. We are going to try other segments of the trail another time.

What?!?! No 20 miles lost and stranded on a busy highway?!?!? C'mon, that was much more exciting.

That sounds awesome to have a trail like that nearby.
