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.

May 2, 2010

This morning we ran and walked the Ron Jahelka Trail at Big River. It was a balmy 49 degrees when I left Fort Bragg and there was a slight offshore breeze (read "headwind on the way back") picking up. True to May, it was a beautiful Spring morning. That's the most weather report you'll get out of me. There were plenty of birds, and Ron had a whole flock of bird watchers out there this morning too. Hopefully I didn't ruffle any few feathers zipping past them on the way back. My apologies Ron, but they reminded of the Guinea hens that always played chicken with our school bus. And I was wearing yellow.

Present were: Fran, Joel, John, Charlene, Steve, Kathy, Joyce, Elaine, Johnny, Neil, Cheryl, Cindy, Jim, Nancy T., Roger T., Mark, Nancy and Tom (18). Please forgive me if I missed anyone. I did not have my usual notepad with me at the start, and I'm not as adept at this as Tom. Afterwards, Tom and Nancy took off on vacation, and Brad joined me for a delicious breakfast at Bayview Cafe, while many apparently made the trek to The Boontling Classic 5K race, and the rest of you went home to plant your garden now that it's May (hint, hint).

Soon, we'll also dispense with the weekly emails, and you all (and anyone else!) can check out our blog that Brad has set up. We'll overlap for a few weeks, but then it will be the only place to get the email updates.

NEXT SUNDAY 5/9/10 8 AM: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

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