Orange County Layover
The Upper Newport Bay is a tidal backwater preserve with bike and equestrian greenway. Starting from the OC airport in Irvine the cement and glass buildings give way to wildlife refuge past the UC Irvine North Campus. There is a fence to jump at the end of Campus Drive but it wasn’t much of a barrier. An access road joins the park. 6.2 miles

The pavement ends at the Aqua Caliente Indian Reservation and the trail portion becomes a hike due to desert terrain and steep rise.

One lap of the Fort Lauderdale Executive. The airport perimeter road is flat concrete sidewalk or pavement with soft grass edge. Many general aviation aircraft to view while maneuvering this 6 mile circuit.

To avoid that stuck in a hotel room feeling one has only to step outside – even in Romulus, MI. This little circuit is level concrete blvd. with very light vehicular traffic. Clearing the hotel strip opens up countryside and corn fields. One lap equals 2.9 miles.

Last run for the year… 7.4 miles of concrete. Once you cross over the ICW into Palm Beach, heavy traffic subsides. See the beach! A detour for take-out at the La Salsa in the City Place gives pause. Try not to drip sweat on the salsa bar.
Dallas Love
The Bachman Lake Greenbelt is a 3.9 mile loop located on the northern boundary of Dallas Love Field. It offers some good plane watching and photo vantage as it lies just beneath the departure / arrival corridor. It is asphalt paved but with short cropped Bermuda Grass alongside. The surrounding park features Latino ethnicity on the weekends.
