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.

Caspar Logging Roads

"Running is real and relatively simple --- but it ain't easy. -- Mark Will-Weber

Summer is here!  It was a nice, 53 degrees, sunny and calm when we met this morning.  John was busy this morning, both before and after our run, and so he took a few local photos earlier.  Thank you John.

There was a new runner this morning, Sarah, and she brought her son, Andrew.  Andrew rode his bike and it was nice to meet each of them.  Please come back again!  Also present:  Donna, Zelda, Fran, Geri, Nancy T., Roger, Mark, Charlene, Ron, John, Greg, Nancy and Tom (15).

Some of the venues that we have used in the past have become undesirable lately.  They have lots of loose rock or they're too far away for some.   There's a number of reasons that I hear for certain locations not being favored and I understand completely.  Luckily, we have a few that work well for almost any weekend and they are beautiful places to walk or to run.  Big River is one and with next weekend being the 4th of July weekend, I think it will be better than one of the parks.

Summer is a time for traveling and I know of trips being planned by Roger and by myself and I'm hoping Bob can step in and entertain us again with his great blogging.  If Bob is not available, I'd be happy to make any other Fog Dodger a moderator for the blog and they could post.  It isn't difficult, let me know.
