Hopefully my email found you. Not very tech savvy. My thinking is less people midweek so less parking problem, but LA traffic and cooler temps means starting early. May have another rider from Huntington Beach to pick up also. So I am thinking 5am from San Clemente. I will not be a fast hiker if that adds to your decision. If that sounds good you can park at my house. It is two miles off the freeway. If that sounds good I will send you my address.
