Didn't see one out-of-state license plate the whole time...except for those of us from Idaho (lol)!

Burbank in six hours on a bike would be tough, but there's no need to take the Highway 5 superslab. You can either mosey down the PCH or take Highway 101 south.

The commute can be a ball buster, but remember there's lane splitting.

Depends on where you're at. The Millbrae Pancake house in Millbrae is pretty good. In Pacifica there's the Chit Chat Cafe for coffee, not sure about their breakfast. I also recommend Gorilla BBQ (a person friend and client of mine) for their ribs or pulled pork sandwiches. Nicks has pretty good waffes too, I think their breakfast is pretty good too.

By the way, if you'll be going down the Coast Highway, as I'm sure you will, you might want to turn off at Pescadero and go to Duarte's Tavern. Great variety of food.

Take PCH down to Burbank even if it takes twice as long.

If you go on the PCH, Try Rio Grill in Carmel on Hiway 1 @ Crossroads. Super food.

BTW premium is 3.99 a gallon, last I checked it was 3.89 In Idaho Falls....for the extra .10/gallon I'll hang in CA

Bull crap!! Get your geography book out....I live near Boise (snows off-on maybe 3 months of the year) and don't live near Idaho Falls, so I fill up locally.
