Hey guys, I've had minimal online access this week, sorry!
I
may need to abandon this ride.

By all means though, please continue on with the plan... and if I can make it, I'll be there!
My plan was to roll by 9 either from the NB Burger place (only concern would be parking) or another good place to start would be Magnolia/Banning, just a block up from PCH.
In any case, I leave you guys to (hopefully) follow through and I'll plan to be there if I can.
