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.

BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD



It was an overcast morning and at 8:00 a.m., it was about 45 degrees with no wind.  That's about just right for a run or walk or even a bike ride and we had a nice group this morning.  Nice to see Peter back, along with Shari and Louis.  Also present: Charlene, Fran, M.T., Pat, Leon, Toni, Joe, John, Deb, Sam, Nancy and Tom (14).

Besides the weather being good, there was a king tide, 7.2 feet, right at 8 o'clock.  I think we all enjoyed seeing how much more river there was than what we are used to seeing.

                        John took pictures this morning of the river and of the bay.  Thank you John!

It has been 11 weeks since we started at Ward Ave. We will try it again next Sunday.  It works well for all of us, so it is worth the few extra minutes of drive time.  I hope to see you there.

NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 17TH @ 8:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE,  WARD AVENUE

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.
