Bayside, just a lot nicer, both traffic wise and scenery than PCH in CDM.

Yes, have to watch for train service interruptions. Agree Las Pulgas to Harbor on the 5 but hopefully the rest of the bike route is available.

The inland line trains also stop in Orange which is just a couple miles from ARTIC, so lots of options.
