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.

POMO BLUFFS - NOYO BAY

What the heck!  Who picked this venue!!?  Obviously, I had no idea it would be like it was this morning when I chose to try this new venue.  Very interesting.  It was like a very, very cold Spring morning, 40 degrees with north winds strong enough to almost blow you over.  I thought to myself, I'll never pick this venue again but then after the turn-around, it warmed a bit and we were going with the wind and it wasn't terrible.  We may do it again but then the sun will be higher in the sky, not in our eyes and the temperature is bound to be a little warmer.

Thank you, John, for all of today's photos.  I'm not sure they show how windy it was or how cold it was but it has potential for being a good run/walk.  The photos show it's beauty!


Those tough enough to show up today were:  Greg, Gay, Mark, Donna, Jamie, Bill, Jordan, Susan, Bruce, Cheryl, Bob, John, Jan, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Joe, Mary, Ron, Jackie, Nancy and Tom (24).

This morning, Pomo Bluffs Park, J. Loomis photo
There is a very high (King) tide next Sunday around 8 a.m., so, depending upon the weather between now and then, Big River should be very interesting to see.
