Route 1: Campbell Ave (annoying red light at left turn in front of Target where it meets with Hamilton), Prospect (horribly long light at Lawrence), Stelling, Rainbow, Terrace or Bubb (or climb Regnart to top and back down if I want to beat myself up before work), Hyannisport, Linda Vista, McClellan to Foothill
Route 2: Grimbsy, Baylor, Cox up to Saratoga/Sunnyvale, left on Prospect then same as above.
i'll try going on grimsby next time. i bet there is a ton of traffic at the schools on bucknall before 9am?

i see, so you used to leave much earlier than i do. usually, i leave after 9:00am so i get to campbell ave. 9:30am - 10:00am. i live close to del mar high school.
on tuesday i couldn't sleep and left a bit earlier, i got to campbell ave. by ~8:10am and this was my experience:

yeah, what i've been doing on the way back is making a right on woodglen and then taking bucknall all the way to the san tomas overpass (and skipping the campbell & san tomas light).
