Mad for M*A*S*H 2010 report...

Sunday morning our small group of riders hit the trail at Malibu Creek State Park bound for the M*A*S*H filming site. With riders ranging in age from 8 to 48, and of varied experience, we were not sure what to expect. But, since this was billed as a fun ride and time was not of the essence, no one really cared. Neither the one big hill, nor the rock garden trail could stop our youngest who gave an all-out effort to conquer the obstacles - some hike-a-bike, it is true, but even the best have to resort to that at times. The interpretive exhibits set up at the site were informative and we took some extra time atop "Radar's Hill" remembering familiar scenes from the show and trying to place them within the landscape. It was about this time that Corporal Radar O'Reilly showed up... no, wait, that was our best dressed winner. The return ride went a little more quickly - less climbing, more downhill, and we were rewarded with a barbeque to slake our hunger and thirst, and some squirt-gun action to cool down. Seemed like everyone enjoyed the day, and that after all, was the whole point. Until next time.
