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.

TEN MILE RIVER LOGGING ROAD


Conditions were perfect this morning at Ten Mile River.  We ran and walked on the logging road.  I guess that we didn't miss any berry picking this year, since both sides of the roadway had recently been heavily brush/weed whacked.   The temperature, under clear and calm skies, was about 48 degrees.  We probably won't return to this venue but once a year or so.  For some, the distance is too far and for some of the runners, too much of a paved roadway.

It was a pleasure this morning to meet Roger's son, Keith, here visiting with Roger and Nancy.  Also returning, our friends from Chico, Keith and Greg.  Others present:  Fran, Charlene, Ron, Cheryl N., Neil, Toni, Joe, Jan, Nancy B., Nancy and Tom (16).

Previously, I mentioned that with the cooler mornings, the mosquitoes at Big River should be gone.  This week, while running in Mendocino at 7:00 a.m., I found that I was wrong.  So, if you're walking next week, it would be a good idea to be prepared.  Do come though!
