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.

WARD AVENUE

It was another perfect morning for running and walking.   We met at Ward Ave., giving us the option of either going north along the beach or south along the Haul Road.  It was 49 degrees, calm and mostly sunny, right on the edge of the coastal fog.

This is not Ward Avenue.  If you look closely, you'll see that it's Nancy, having her morning coffee in Maui.  I guess that she did not miss Ward Avenue too much.

Thank you Jackie, for bringing a new person, Cindy.  I hope she enjoyed it enough to keep coming back.   Welcome to the Fog Dodgers, Cindy!

We haven't been to Ten Mile River since last August, so you'll see it scheduled below.  It's only 5 minutes further than where we met today, so don't stay home thinking it's too far away.  It is a great road for walking, running and biking.
