Wow! Can't believe that I only just found this thread. (Then again, I haven't been on FT much lately.

)
rjw, I am
very impressed with your time down to LAX! ^ Then again, when I ride from Pasadena, California, out to the West Side,Mulholland Drive is a large part of the journey.

I've thought about taking Mulholland west and then coming back on Venice, but I've never bothered to figure out how to negotiate downtown back to Pasadena.
