Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Morning! Enjoy your week off, Millsey!

My calves are protesting strongly today. Evidently different muscles for cycling, rowing and running. Who knew?

Good luck to all those starting the RTTS today :)
Bike ride for us this evening with the novelty of being able to stop at a pub for a drink half-way round!

Hope you all have a good Monday x

Continuing my supposed holiday ....

Bodega Bay is a nice ‘quiet’ back-water sort of place – very laid back. Apart from the lighthouse foghorn every 30 seconds. Seems it’s foggy so often they leave it on all the time.

Our Airbnb is a waterside house - airbnb.co.uk well, by the road and 100ft above the water.

Food? Well, as leaked yesterday, Bodega bay is home to the ‘best in the world’ (or as the Americans would and do say, ‘best on the planet’), Spud Point Crab Co, spudpointcrabco.com
It’s really a boat, a shed and a few picnic tables. Dinner (or lunch) is a large White Clam Chowder (New England style), a large Red Clam Chowder (Manhattan style) and a crab sandwich. Bring your own beer, local wine, whatever.

Or take back to the ‘cottage’ and eat on the balcony, overlooking the bay. Perfect.





But enough of that – as this is a running thread, need to record our early morning run round the bay. We did cut it short going up the headland, because we hit cloud/fog level. Not much point going further up when it was all white.
But Californian fog is odd – it’s warm. I don’t think I’ve ever had warm fog in UK?
fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1814420

All pics from here on my own – from August, 2010 (as is the run, to be honest)
Looking back over the bay.



Then for our sightseeing day – a lot of walks around coast, woods and bay. The scenery is becoming more of the ‘yellow/brown’ dry rolling hills typical of north of the San Fran bay.
And the agriculture is moving towards grapes and a more socially acceptable type of drug.












Another run and a bridge tomorrow …

Som, ordinarily I would vote waste of money however I have entered the virtual Sheepy Shuffle as all proceeds go to Jovial Gnome’s retirement home for sheep, so therefore I am unable to vote, sorry.

Good luck to all embarking on the RTTS today. luck

Nice trot out with my friend and we managed 6.5 miles so I'm very happy with that. We saw the cutest little ducklings. heart She has her family staying with her from Sheffield since day 1 of lockdown and we bumped into her son with little boy 1 on a bike then dil with littler boy 2 in a buggy, more cuteness, especially when asleep. :)

I've voted. I would have been an "only during lockdown", except that last year I did a Movember half marathon virtually because I couldn't get to any of their real races because of clashes & wanted to keep up my record of supporting them.

As far as "waste of money" goes, the ones I've done have either been with an eye to supporting a charity, supporting a race organiser faced with a huge loss of income, or things which only really work virtually (like the race across Tennessee). So, mmm, I guess my feelings about that are quite different during lockdown than they were before!
