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




Thanks to John, for all of today's pictures.






It was a beautiful and perfect morning to run or walk along the ocean.  We met at the Pudding Creek Trestle and went north from there but then doubled back to also run on the new North Coastal Trail around Glass Beach.  It was 55 degrees at our start with sunny and calm skies.







Enjoying the morning were:  Ron, Bob, Jan, Pat, Bill, Cheryl, Neil, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Joe, Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (16).





Again this morning, John was busy finishing up
a roofing job.  He did though, send me these nice
    photos taken around Pudding Creek.  Thanks,
    John!




This past week, the Tuesday/Thursday Fog Dodgers, tried  a new venue.  We ran around Heeser
Drive and the streets of Ukiah.  At 7:00 in the morning, traffic is a non-issue.   I think that it will work well for 8:00 starts on Sunday mornings.  You can expect to see it on the schedule soon.  I need to recheck the parking.  We were beginning near the restrooms on Heeser, but could just as well start at the foot of Main St. or Harvest Market at Mendocino.  It will be fun to check out the houses and the headlands.

Sunday, September 17th, Ward Avenue (not a low tide but still has good hiking/running)
Sunday, September 24th, Van Damme State Park
Sunday, October 1st, Pomo Bluffs - Noyo Bay
Sunday, October 8th, Caspar Logging Roads
Sunday, October 15th, Lake Cleone (starting at the lake parking lot)

 See "Our Routes" above for descriptions of courses and starting points.

NEXT SUNDAY, SEPT. 17TH @ 8:00 A.M.: WARD AVENUE

 EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.:  Mendocino, beginning at the Heeser Drive restrooms.
