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.

COVID 19, 7

We returned to the Caspar Logging Road this morning.  We hadn't been there since last October.  I think we all enjoyed being back but several requests were made for the Coastal Trail next Sunday.

Shari and Peter didn't check the blog before heading out and therefore ended up this morning on the Coastal Trail.  She sent me this picture as proof.


On the Caspar Logging Road this morning, we had Joe, Nancy T., Susan, Bruce, Scott (1st Sunday), Fran, Cheryl, Neil, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Ron, John, Bob, Nancy and Tom (17).

Four bike riders this morning, I think that is a record.  Inspired me so much, I may ride my bike next Sunday, gonna have to get my bicycle legs back.

It was 52 degrees with a heavy overcast and no wind this morning, real good for running, walking and biking.

And some pictures from John.  Thanks John.

Wear your mask!
                                








NEXT SUNDAY, 5/17, 8:00 A.M.,  GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE, We've been meeting behind the Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail.  It works well, giving you several directions by which to start.  Next Sunday, we'll again meet at behind the Fire Station.

County Shelter in Place Order continues, pertinent section and current revision copied below:

Allowed: 
  • Outdoor Recreation may now be initiated from within a 50 mile drive of one’s residence taking into account the new provisions in the  Facial Covering Order
  • When engaging in recreational activities in public, it is recommended that everyone bring a facial covering with them in a safe and accessible location and wear that where it is difficult to comply with social distancing requirements. However, the Order clarifies that for some public recreational activities which cause people to more forcefully expel airborne particles, the six feet social distance requirement may not be enough and may call for additional measures.
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN AND WALK @ 7:30 A.M.,   for now, we're starting behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail - Middle access on Tuesdays.  On Thursdays, we are starting at Harvest Market at Mendosa's, Mendocino.
