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.

The Ron Jahelka Trail

There's something called "equivalent temperature" or something like that. It has to do with the ambient temperature and how it feels due to wind chill. All I can say, is that at 37 degrees, with a little breeze blowing this morning, there was no holding the Fog Dodgers back from jumping the gun! I was trying to explain to our guests, Heather and Ryan that we have only one rule, that is, "To be punctual". Well, anyway, we were very close, just a few seconds early. I hope that wasn't the reason that our other new guests, Megan and Rick S., missed our start by just a bit. Besides those four, present were: Elaine, Laurie, Johnny, Bob, John, Orah, Steve, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Gay, Mark, Geri, Nancy and Tom (19). After getting a half mile or so up the river, it was actually a very nice morning for a walk or run. Big River was, as usual, beautiful.

The Fog Dodgers started out as a running group. It was nice today to see an almost equal numbers of runners and walkers.
