Took a short ride out to Simsbury to run along their highland ridge, hopefully making a connection to McLean.   

Had a decent time for the first half of the adventure, even made it McLean rather easily with good footing on the short half-mile bushwhack section.  The trouble started while on the further western trail (blue I believe).

Snow began to fall, and it ended not being much, maybe a solid inch covering everything.  The issue was this is a very, very rocky section, and there was ice on most of the rocks prior to the snow falling.  The snow covered all the ice, and after losing my traction a couple times I decided to gear back to a crawl.

It seemed to take forever getting out of the area, it was that slippery on the rocks.  By the second half of the run, the views were gone, snow was falling, and I was out an extra 45-minutes longer than I expected to be.  But, I have a connection I can work with, and I have another potential connection as well.  And, I ruled a third option out.

Finished pleased with the run and 7.7-miles on my legs.  Not bad for a Tuesday.
