OK, let's get a feel for how many people are up for this. Obviously if we depart Cars & Coffee around 9:00AM we have two choices - either head north or south. So we can take the 133 down to PCH in Laguna Beach until it dead ends then ......... north or south?

If we go south we can only take the coast to San Clemente then we'd have to jump on the 5 to Oceanside where we could once again pick it up all the way to Torrey Pines and beyond.

If we go north we're good to Long Beach, then over the Vincent Thomas bridge and a few street changes through Palos Verdes, pick up Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach and on through to Marina Del Rey - which we might hit right around lunch time. The drive just improves from there as we head into Malibu and beyond.

I'm torn on this one as I'm not sure just how long either route would take. Then again, I'm blocking out the day so I don't really care!

So let's start a copy and paste sign up list, so to speak. Enter your name and direction choice (N or S), and if you have a restaurant recommendation let's hear that too.
