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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE

In the midst of a Global Pandemic, in a State that is mostly ordered to stay at home if possible, we are fortunate to be in a zone or district where we can go out and be with friends.  On top of that, add in the best scenery and freshest air possible, others should be so lucky.

It was a beautiful morning on the coast.  The recent rain seems to have cleaned the streets and washed away any dust or pollen.  It was "crisp" this morning, I guess, about 45, sunny and a slight breeze.  The ocean was great, large waves breaking far offshore, deep blue seas and lots of clean whitewater.

Present today:  Gay, Mark, M.T., Pat, Leon, Shari, Joe, Deb, Sam, John, Bob, Cheryl, Scott, Nancy and Tom (15).  Some of you may not have seen Cheryl and Scott, they were there, honest!

Next week, for the bike riders, there are options; either hilly or flat.  I think it will work alright, at eight in the morning there is little traffic.  For the walkers and runners, you get the same options.  It's a nice place to do any of our activities.  Other people only dream of living in such a place!

  NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 3RD @ 8:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWN

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station on Tuesdays and on Big River Logging Road on Thursdays.
