Mountain Biking - Fountainhead

The Grays suggested that we go mountain biking at Fountainhead Regional Park in Fairfax Station. The reviews were accurate so Sara and Julia did a different trail. The 'green' trail featured a few 12" drops, some berms, a lot of roots, and some good up and down. Geoff cut his finger, RJ managed to crush you-know-where on his back tire, and Bradley fell and scraped his arm/leg/back. So overall ... a successful day!

RJ, Bradley, Geoff, and Doug did two laps on the green trail ... as well as a loop to the water courtesy of a missed turn when we were looking for the trailhead.

We celebrated with a trip to 7-eleven after the ride.

Requirements for next ride:
  • RJ 'needs' a new mountain bike
  • Everybody needs gloves to keep sweaty hands from slipping off the handlebars
