My stepdaughter's got a marching band competition at Glover Stadium in Anaheim on Saturday.
I'll probably have a few hours to kill in the afternoon between her performance and the awards.

I'm thinking about bring my MTB (my only bike) and getting a short ride in the late afternoon.

MUP's,roads, dirt trails, whatever. Probably at most an hour (8-12 miles streetish - less in dirt)

I don't thiink there is any real MTB nearby. Looks like I'm a few miles from the SART or Fully Loop.
I could maybe do part of either.

The stadium is pretty much at La Palma/Harbor; just south of the 91 at Harbor.

Any suggestions?
TIA

Yeah, you got it right. The only thing in that area would be the SART and the Fullerton Loop. But if you only have time for an hour ride, looks like your best bet is sticking to the roads surrounding the Stadium.

Oh, okay, La Palma Park. Now I know what "Glover Stadium" is. Yes, you're pretty much limited to circling around the park if you only have an hour. It's only a little over a mile to Central Library and there are some nice Craftsman homes in that area, but not nearly as nice as Floral Park in Santa Ana. And the nearest SART access is several miles no matter which direction you go: east on La Palma or south on Harbor.
