Outstanding morning for a long run, cool (60's, sunny, with no humidity).  Wuzzam was hoping for something in the 12 - 15 mile range, without too many steep ups or downs.  The answer would be at McLean, where the climbs are not massive, and the trails are as soft and well maintained as anywhere in Connecticut.

We rambled around for 14.7-miles, covering ground at a decent pace.  There was only about a 3/4-mile segment where we repeated ourselves on trail, which explains how extensive the trail network is in McLean.  This was a really good run and something we can build on going forward.

Later in the evening, DL and I drove out to the Iron-Horse Music Lounge to listen to Savoy Brown play rock and blues.  Excellent show, great time.
