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.

LAKE CLEONE

 Happy New Year to all.  This morning, we met at Lake Cleone.  I think that everyone, both runners and hikers chose to go south, mostly on the Haul Road.  Joel ran the single track along the bluff.  It was nice this morning, about 49  degrees, I've forgotten now for sure.  The ocean and clouds were beautiful!

Out to enjoy the last morning of the year:  Steve and his daughter, Jodie, (thanks Steve), Zelda, Cheryl N., Neil, Shari, Peter, Jan, Joel, Nancy T., Roger, John, Nancy and Tom.  We met Toni for breakfast at David's (15).

I've got a bit of good news, Big River Road is again open!  We'll go there often, as long as the mosquitoes are still sleeping.  This week, the Mid-week Fog Dodgers will check it out on Tuesday.  Soon also, I think, the two halves of our new Coastal Trail should be connected and that will give many options out there.  Things are looking better!

Invite your friends to join us.  We will always enjoy more members, especially runners.


Sunday, Jan. 7th, Group Run and Walk, POMO BLUFFS - HARE CREEK (see "Our Routes" above)

Sunday, Jan. 8th Upper Russian Gulch State Park, beginning on Road 409, 3.2 miles east of Hwy One.  It is right where the paved road ends and there is a sign that says, "Horse Camp".

 Sunday, Jan. 15th, Big River


NEXT SUNDAY,  JAN. 7TH, GROUP RUN AND WALK, POMO BLUFFS - HARE CREEK - NOYO BAY, beginning at the Pomo Bluffs Parking Lot.
     depending upon how fast you go, there's many options built into this one.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: This Tuesday (Jan. 2), we will return to Big River and check out how this one is.   On Thursday (Jan. 4th), we will run at Mendocino, beginning at the Heeser Dr. restrooms.
