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.

The Ron Jahelka Trail (Big River)

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity."-- John F. Kennedy

It was a great morning!  I think luck played a big part.  We've been getting plenty of rain the past few days and it was forecast to be heavy showers today but the rain god held back for the Fog Dodgers!  It was 50, a little drizzly but generally just right for both running and walking.

 Present this morning:  Deb, Sam, Geri, Mark, Nancy T., Roger, Joel, Bob, Melissa, Nichole, Katie, John, Rod, Nancy and Tom (15).


I was so happy with the trail repairs made at MacKerricher when we were there a couple of weeks ago, I would like to go there again.  The weather forecast for next Sunday (if you can believe in such things) is for sunshine and light winds.  The tide at 8:00 will be about half way between high and low, around 4 feet, and so we'll have the option of using either the Haul Road and trails or using the beach.  It will be another great day!

NEXT SUNDAY, Feb. 16th @ 8:00 A.M.: WARD AVENUE, see "Our Routes" above.
