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, 9 COASTAL TRAIL - NORTH

                                                       
We are in the middle of a three day Memorial Day weekend.  One like no other.  This was our 10th week of "Sheltering In Place" and we can't go anywhere unless for essential travel.  We can recreate locally and drive up to 50 miles from home.  Luckily, we have our beautiful coast and a great group of friends





Present on this beautiful sunny, 52 degree morning:  Nancy T., Fran, Susan, Bruce, Cheryl N., Neil, Shari, Toni, Joe, Charlene, Ron, Bob, Scott, Deb, Sam, John, Nancy and Tom (18).

Thanks to John for today's photo collection.  The plums and rose are from his garden, I think.  The boat was trolling for salmon.      
                               

 

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Caspar Logging Road.  Several of the group told me that they enjoyed going there again. I chose to walk, since my bike legs were just getting going but now I want to go there and ride.  I used to ride the bike trails there and recall them as being some of the best in the area.  So,
next week, we will again meet at the Caspar Logging Roads.      



NEXT SUNDAY, 5/31, 8:00 A.M.,  GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, CASPAR LOGGING ROAD.

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.

A great group of friends indeed. I arrived minutes before departure only to discover my bike tire was completely flat. Being a bicycle novice I was totally surprised and unprepared.
Thankfully Sam came over with a spare tube and a tire pump. The other riders, Bruce, Tom, and Scott helped with the repair and waited until my bike was road worthy again so we could all ride together.
