An Urban Oasis

It's not the 7-mile loop at the scenic pine-and-palmetto combo setting of Flatwoods county park but Al Lopez Park in the city of Tampa does provide a two-mile loop that is decent for being in the middle of the urban asphalt jungleland of Tampa. I was cycling home from the Gandy Bridge this morning and came through Himes Avenue and took a couple of laps at Al Lopez.
