An early AM run on Charlies Tunxis Trail loop. A very pleasant run although a little faster than Charlies advertised easy pace. I posted a
gpx file of the track. Looks pretty close when opened in Google Earth - sometimes right on, other times drifting up to 10m either side of the obvious path. GPS was in my fanny pack up against my lower back so my body was probably blocking half the sky at any given time.

then up to Mom & Dad's in Granby to do an end to end (and back) on the Farmington Valley Greenway. Mostly complete to southern Farmington except the part around Granbrook Park (bridge not renovated yet) and Imperial Nursery (where I worked in the '70s). Rode down Hartford Ave and over to Simsbury Airport then picked up the trail. Nice quiet riding the rest of the way - no hills to speak of, but then no fast descents either. Got to the end and still felt good so pointed west and headed on out the Farmington River Greenway (kind of headed back in the general direction of Charlies). Rode for a few miles out that way, the at one crossing the trail looked less well kept across the road and there was a hot dog cart on the opposite corner. Not having packed anything other than water (nor having anything since before the trail run) I opted for hot dogs and a coke over more mileage. Hung out with the dog cart propietors for a while then turned it around and headed back toward Granby. Not exactly sure what town I was in at that point but I suspect it might have been Unionville.
Was originally planning on going past Mom & Dad's up to Copper Hill Road to make it an official end to end - but I've done that section before and my bonus mileage to Unionville is roughly equivalent, so opted to just stop there and have lunch. Then home for some afternoon lawn mowage....
