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.

Pudding Creek Trestle

We had an overcast walk and run, starting at the Trestle Bridge. We were a small, dedicated group today of runners, walkers and one biker, all of home headed north rather than south this time.
We noticed that the creek is covered with algae. I wish I'd had a camera or an iPhone with me to take a photo of the creek today. The colors were spectacular, but the water probably isn't good for the water critters. The water is standing because the river isn't flowing heavily enough to breach the sandbar and reach the ocean.
The runners included Bob C., Chandra and  Bruce, who rode his bike but is also a runner and a new member.  The walkers included Charlene, Donna, Fran, Neil, Peter, Tom T., Rick and Nancy, and Sheila, who I believe had her first walk with us thanks to Donna. Five of us enjoyed breakfast at David's, which wasn't nearly as busy as last Sunday. And we all miss Tom and Nancy! Looking forward to seeing you next week.
