The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

June 13, 2010

This is a beautiful weekend. Almost warm weather and if you're in to chasing abalones, the lowest tides of the year. For the run/walk/bike, we were at the A&W Logging Road, along the Noyo River. It was 54 at the start, with sunny skies and a slight ocean breeze that was cool.

It was nice to gain a new member today, Randy. Also present this morning were: Johnny, Brad, Kennedy, Maddelyn, Scott, Cheryl, Kim, Fran, Nancy B., Kira, Bob, Caleb, John, Nancy T., Roger, Heather, Charlene, Ron, Rick, maybe Patricia (?), Elaine, Deb, Nancy and Tom (25).

John thought this venue should be called The Pendulum. It has a long downhill followed by a long uphill, long downhill, long uphill, whatever, it's a challenge.

Afterward, 14 of us had a very nice breakfast at David's Restaurant in The Boatyard.

NEXT SUNDAY, 6/20/10 @ 8:00 A.M., GROUP RUN/WALK/ JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 450, (along the north side of Hare Creek) Take Simpson Lane 1.9 miles east from Highway One. You'll see a large parking area and gate on left-hand side of the street. The Fogdodger route follows old Road 450 which is accessed via the gate in the parking area.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of it's south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
