That always seems to be the speed when I'm on them, running from LAX up to Ventura County.

You are nuts to go 101 -- take Sepulveda to Lincoln to PCH, then take that to Oxnard and pick up the 101 up there. Nicer driver and faster, too.

Trust me, I did the same run for over a year.

True. That's an excellent route, as long as it's not rush hour. But, then, there are no good routes at rush hour anywhere in LA.

Actually, I found a better route than yours for the SLO-San Diego run. Going South, I'd cut over on 126 in Ventura, pick up I-5, switch to the 210, then take the 15 to San Diego. It's farther, but usually let me make the whole trip one way in less than 5 hours. Coming back, it worked pretty well, too, as long as I got out of San Diego by 1 PM. If I got out of San Diego after 2 PM, there was no help for me.

That's a long day in a vehicle, though. I hated it.
