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.

April 25, 2010

This morning, we ran and walked Jackson State Forest Road 400, down Covington Gulch and along Hare Creek. It was a very cold 39 degrees at the start but otherwise a beautiful Spring morning. The creek is flowing fast and clear and the Forget-Me-Not flowers were beautiful.

Present were: Pat and Bill, friends of the Banker's that were here last year also, Nancy B., Rick B., Fran, Kim, Joel, Maddelyn, Scott, John, Bob, Johnny, Brad, Neil, Cindy, Jim, Nancy T., Roger T., Nancy and Tom (20). Afterwards, 14 of us had a delicious breakfast at David's Restaurant in the Boatyard Center.

Next Sunday is The Boontling Classic, a really nice, small, local 5K race, for runners and walkers. It starts at 10:00 a.m. and that allows some of us ample time to show up for the 8:00 a.m. Group Run/Walk and do an abreviated run or walk as a warmup and then drive the 45 minutes to Boonville for the race. So,

NEXT SUNDAY, 5/2/10 (I told someone that is Mother's Day but it's not), 8:00 A.M., THE RON JAHELKA TRAIL (also known as Big River Road), along Big River, beginning 1/2 mile east of Hwy. One.

TUESDAYS, 7:00 A.M., RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of it's south end.

THURSDAYS, 7:00 A.M., VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
