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 23, 2010

This morning we made the trek to Navarro Ridge, with promise of the standard Whitesboro Grange breakfast afterward. It was sunny and 48 degrees at the beginning, and warmed up fast, with little if any breeze even on the way back. Present today were: Gay, Mark, Cindy, Jim, Joyce, Nancy T., Roger, Kim, Adeline, John, Kathy, Steve, Nancy, Tom, Charlene and Johnny (16).


Someone please, please remind us! Next year, before the fourth Sunday of May, we should find out the course for the California 10,000. According to Tom, "It's called the 10,000 because that's the number of motorcycles entered and today their ride was the same as ours, Navarro Ridge." I couldn't help thinking that perhaps Mad Max 4: Fury Road was finally in production, or maybe my blood sugar was just a little low. Still, nothing some blackberry syrup couldn't fix (Tina Turner never had it so easy).


NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 30 @ 8 AM, with fewer motorcycles:  CASPAR LOGGING ROAD (JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 500), beginning at the junction of JSF Road 500 and 600, about 2 miles east of Hwy 1. Go east on Fern Creek Rd. (where the duck pond is), 1/4 mile, turn right and go 1/4 mile, turn left on Caspar Orchard Road, go about 3/4 mile until it merges with Rd. 500 at the junction with Rd. 600.

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

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
