Slow Fountainhead trail. Tube in the front tire with a slow leak did not hold up on the rough terrain. Long 40 minute break changing a tube. Tire is a very tight fit on the stans rim, difficult to mount with only 1 tire lever I had. I was near the top of a switchback hill climb. Another biker stopped to help while resting after the climb. Glad my mini pump works, had no CO2. Rest of the trail was a bit slow. I'm out of shape. Also brakes were rubbing.

2 hour score o. Clockwise loop, but the other way might have been better. I didn't like the 100 point control in the southeast corner because it looked like an out and back, so I decided on a clockwise loop that would likely skip it. However clockwise had some lower value points and steeper terrain so it was maybe not the best strategy. Ran short on time and had to run down the long gravel road and skip 2 points along the way. Forget to get the point next to the finish though I had enough time - I skipped it early and left if for the end, but at the end I was too focused on the controls leading into the finish from the other side of the map, and forgot.

Bike around the neighborhood in Herndon, to check out how to connect to W&OD, and learn the road better.
