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.

WARD AVENUE


This was a 52 degree morning that felt like 40 degrees.  Maybe not too cold for walkers and runners but I can attest that on a bike, cutting through the fog and drizzle, it was very cold.  But the stormy looking ocean, with large beautiful waves, seemed to compensate for the cold.

Thanks to John L. for all of today's photos.  He says that the sea lion was taken yesterday and that the blue heron one taken on another morning that was dark and foggy.







Next week, with the time change, it will be a little brighter hopefully, though the weather forecast right now predicts a cold weekend.

Present today: Gay, Mark, Leon, Pat, M.T., Charlene, Ron, Joe, Deb, Sam, John, Nancy and Tom (13).

As I've mentioned before, it is sometimes difficult working with "Blogger".  As I was uploading the photos above, the whole post shrunk down to a two inch wide column. I can't fix anything right now, so I'm just going with it as is.  

(update: after posting, I see that on the internet, the blog came out nearly normal but I'm not going to try fooling around with it by putting captions on John's photos or anything else.

Hope to see you all next week.  The park at Russian Gulch should be closed for the season, so nice and quiet!


NEXT SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST @ 8:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK.  STANDARD TIME!

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station on Tuesdays and on Big River Logging Road on Thursdays.  Note the new starting time, it's getting dark in the morning lately.
