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.

MacKerricher Haul Road

Folks, we aren't called the Fog Dodgers without reason. I'm not sure why there were so few of us this morning but for those of you that missed it, you missed a perfectly good morning. Carlin thought it was "wonderful"! John captured the essence of it in the photo below. I think all of the blog photos are or will be "clickable", that is, if you click on them, you'll get a larger image.



We were on the MacKerricher Haul Road this morning. It was 61 degrees (about as warm as it's ever been at one of our 8 a.m. starts) and foggy with a light drizzle. A half hour into our runs or walks, coming back, the light drizzle turned into a light rain. It was a good morning to run or walk. Present were: Carlin, Randy, Brad, Johnny, John, Melissa, Nancy and Tom (8).

Afterwards, six of us enjoyed Cafe 1 for breakfast.

Two good events coming up soon:



This should be a really nice run or walk for anyone interested in getting away from the fog and it benefits a good project. I couldn't upload a cleaner image. The small print at the bottom reads: Pre-registration at Jaxson Keys Winery, 707-462-6666 or The Gardens Project, 707-462-2596 (you can click on the picture and see a larger image).

and, if you would rather do a local Saturday race on that same weekend, October 2nd and 3rd, there's the Noyo River Run 5K. The race is just part of a Health and Wellness Festival that includes lots of free health screenings and talks. Check it out by putting the following URL into your web browser (sorry, I couldn't make it a hyperlink).
