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.

CASPAR LOGGING ROADS

Welcome Beth!  Thanks, Jan, for recruiting another runner!  Hopefully Beth's run was enjoyable and she will return to run with us regularly.

We ran and walked the Caspar Logging Roads today.  It was 49 degrees with just a thin overcast and the sun was trying to break through.  Conditions were just right for a little exercise.

I think these are in John's garden, J. Loomis photo
Also present today:  Gaye, Mark, Greg, Fran, Charlene, Laura, Cheryl, Toni, Susan, Bruce, Geri, Nancy B., Nancy T., Roger, Pat, Leon, Jeff, John, Nancy and Tom (22).

Road 500, which is the road most of us used today, has a lot of loose rock and also a lot of large embedded rocks, all perfect for tripping up runners.  I don't know what to do about it, we'll just have to be super careful not to fall victim.  This, I think, is still perhaps our best venue, since it works for everyone and other than the tripping hazards, is in good condition year round.

 SUNDAY, SEPT. 18TH, WARD AVENUE, see "Our Routes" above.  A nice (0.5 at 6:30 a.m.) low tide if you like walking or running the beach.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.
