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.

A&W or Noyo Logging Road/GP Haul Road

Ominous clouds, a few light sprinkles and a mean easterly head wind could not deter us from our run/walk today, commiserating one another with our differing versions of annoying alarm clock stories.... On the other hand, it was a rather civil 53F to start, even if the sun wasn't fully awake here yet.

The faithful today included Toni, John, Larry T, Scott, Roger, Nancy T, Nancy B, Geri, Orah, Steve, Hector, Bob, Neil and Johnny (14). Ten of us had breakfast at David's Deli, joined by Brad and Larry's parents, Art and Dee, and his sister Nancy (14!).

NEXT SUNDAY, March 20 @ 8 AM: The 10-day forecast says it's supposed to rain for 9 of those, right through to March 21. My bias to run on softer dirt whenever possible does not include slogging through mud except on special occasions, so I'm opting for Ten Mile River Logging Road next week. See "Our Routes" tab above. Note: If you ever have a particular venue in mind, just let the bloggers know (Tom, Johnny, Roger, Bob) and we'll be glad to accommodate your wish, as long as it satisfies our whim, of course.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7 AM: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
