O.K., either date is fine, you pick it. If there's a lot of rain, best to wait a while,(several days), before going west from Reseda, which is what I had in mind. We could start at the top of Reseda and go to the Parker-Mesa overlook, above Pacific Pallisades. It's all fire road, and about 18 miles with a bunch of climbing. If it's raining the days before, that route has too much clay, I'll pick another.
