Old airport runways are big and flat, so we thought that renting bikes and cycling on the old runway would be enjoyable. There are lots of lovely recreational fields and courts built on adjacent parts of the old airport, but the runway is pretty much unimproved beyond the gate. That makes it pretty bumpy and so it wasn't quite as amazing as we expected. But we rode around the recently-paved parking lots surrounding the tennis courts, baseball fields, swimming pool, etc., and got plenty of exercise over a couple of hours.

When we needed to take a hydration break in the shade, we headed to one of the covered picnic tables that line the beach between the runway and the Pacific.

Bori's rental bike wasn't quite big enough for him, so we are still working on finding a bigger bike to rent. And we need to check out other flat routes that wouldn't be near lots of traffic. For us, cycling here is a work in progress.
Keep moving!
