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.

Big River Logging Road

Fall is in the air.  Though it was sunny and 49 this morning at Big River with just a slight breeze, several commented that it was nippy.

thanks, John, for today's photos
Also, the days are getting shorter and this morning, we had the low rising sun right in our eyes as we took off.  Not complaining here, it was a beautiful morning!


Present today:  Susan, Bruce, Fran, Bob J., Deb, Sam, Lisa, Tabi, Linnaea, Zavier, Cheryl, Charlene, Ron, Shari, Peter, Geri, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Joe, John, Nancy and Tom (23).


Afterwards, 12 of us enjoyed breakfast at David's.


The south half of the "new coastal trail" will soon be opening.  That will make for a great, approximately one hour run, from the Pudding Creek Trestle to the Noyo Bridge (or thereabouts).  Right now, with only the north half open, it's about a half hour run or a one hour walk.  Next Sunday, we will check out the north half and probably some of the MacKerricher Haul Road.


Future run/walks:  I post these now, for the benefit of "guest" bloggers, so that they won't have to guess at where we've been lately.  I do it myself, so that I try not to do the same venue too frequently.

John sent me five photos today.  He has a good eye for interesting shots and his photos make the blog look, well, like a blog, but nice.  Thank you, John!
