I'd recommend a run down Old Topanga Canyon Road to Topanga, then back up New Topanga Canyon Road, then to the motel(s).
11miles W on Ventura Fwy from Sportsman's, 3m S to Topanga Canyon Road, 5.6m to Topanga. Google Maps |
That is a fantastic area for a drive and you have picked a good time frame to do it. During the week if you are up in that area anytime after 645 am you will have tons of traffic...Saturday morning, not so much. And it seems like the L.A. County Sherrif and the Highway patrol sleep in on the weekends. They don't come out to play till about 9 am to watch over the beach crowds running through the canyon.
This is a very nice change of scenery with 2 lane roads, trees, mountains and some insane hairpin turns! The sport bikes start showing up around 11 am around Topanga and the Harley crowd about noon. You should miss them both.
