Thanks! Given that I will be landing at LAX at about 430, this is a little too far for me to get to.

I did some searching and it sounds like Decker Canyon Road in Malibu is a great ride. Anyone drive that?

I found a really good route on an autoblog: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/16/a...malibu-canyon/
