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.

March 21, 2010


Another fine but small group today on the Caspar Logging Road trails. Present this morning were: John, Marc, Fran, Orah, Steve, Hector, Joel and Johnny (8). Afterwards, we all went our separate ways.

A lot of things are blooming, and so it was fitting that yesterday was the official first day of Spring. It was a pleasant 48 degrees at the start. Skies? I think that's where all the sprinkles were coming from, but at least the trails weren't flooded. Anyway, I hope everyone has set their clocks forward by now. Or you ran/raced yesterday in the Whale Run. Or, you're saving yourself for the Easter Egg Hunt....?

Also thanks to John, for this Special News Report, Fort Bragg 2010 Whale Run Competition Walk and Run:
With Nancy on a mean walking pace and Marc running very fast we had 2 winners in the group representing the Fog Dodgers.....With this "World Wide" Competition it was fierce challenges from out of town folks.....We had Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, Willits, just to name a few of the many participants and very fast runners and walkers.

Nancy walked record pace time amidst heavy competition. Marc struggled along to make a great showing in his age division. Bob got a "Bronze" for his record breaking run, and of all,

Laurie came it "Gold" for her record pace on the 10K!

TWO MORE WEEKS (UNTIL TOM & NANCY RETURN) SCHEDULE:

NEXT SUNDAY, 3/28/10, 8 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

SUNDAY, 4/4/10 (EASTER SUNDAY EASTER EGG HUNT), Jackson State Forest Road 450 (along the north side of Hare Creek) beginning on Simpson Lane. Go east on Simpson Ln. 1.9 miles, large parking area and gate on left. The Easter Bunny's knee is good again, and he went shopping early for variously-shaped-chocolaty-and-sugary-things to stuff in plastic eggs. Remember too, kids are always fine, but this hunt was started for you deprived adults, so wear your big kid bonnet, bring your big kid basket, and get ready to act like the big kids that you are.

TUESDAYS, 7 AM: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

THURSDAYS, 7 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
