I volunteered at the
Voyageur's Revenge mountain bike race today. The temperatures dropped steadily throughout the day, making it a cold day for spectating, but great for the racers. I was posted about 1.5 miles up Hwy 210 where racers left the trail on the south side of 210, rode for a short time on the pavement, and then crossed back into the trails on the north side.
After the various races were over I opted to walk back down the highway and took a few photos along the way:

| Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) |

| Close up of the flower. |

| Including flower spikes and leaves. |

| Coreopsis species (C. lanceolata?) |

By the time the races were over the temperature had dropped into the mid 50's. Cold enough to cause the bees to be a lot easier to photograph then normal.

The new Mission Creek mountain bike trails look like a lot of fun to ride and I anticipate heading out there soon for a little two wheeled exploring.
