Default How many miles does it take to break in a new clutch?

I am wondering how long I need to baby my new Mcleod twin disc clutch kit. I plan on doing some canyon carving this saturday. I won't have my car back from the shop until tomorrow or maybe Friday. So the clutch kit may still be a virgin for the cruise? I won't be racing on it for a bit but will spirited driving be ok?
