Ran CA 33 thru Los Padres NF to Ojai!
Spectacular run on CA 33 to Ojai through Los Padres National Forest.
I drove up from the coast at Ventura and thought meh? But then took off in the direction of Taft, wow.
I've been traveling to SoCal for a while now, working in Pasadena. I've run Angeles Crest Hwy & various Malibu runs including the snake.
The best way to describe 33 is that it's median speed is between a Malibu canyon & ACH. Malibu can be very tight, ACH very fast, on both the surface is less than ideal.
33 on the other hand in smooth, medium to fast and low on traffic, lovely. The scenery is spectacular too.
Thanks to those of you that recommended it.
I was running what Hertz gave me, I'd imagine a Touring on these roads would be heaven 😉

Drove my GT3 through there the Thursday before Rennsport. En route to Laguna Seca from Malibu. Outstanding road.

One of the great open roads of socal
Ride motorcycle thru this route often
If you go be sure to grab lunch and beer at THE PLACE just before you get to 166
Really funky place with good vibe and unique roadside flare

Sorry to MASSIVELY try to hijack this thread. I'm planning on moving out to CA in January (yep in 3 months) and Ojai was on my list of artsy or laid back/nice SoCal towns. Since you are all driving through that area can you let me know your opinions on Ojai? Also are there any other similar towns within 1.5-2 hours of LAX anyone recommends?
Sorry again for the hijack attempt. It's hard doing research stuck in Bermuda and with a travel ban (newborn baby curfew). I can try to bring it back on topic with "What's the best laid back SoCal town to park my GT3 Touring in"
Also, these pics are spectacular - seems it is the right area to be looking

If in Ojai, check out the Farmer's Market (Sundays), Azus Brewery, and Bart's Book (largest outdoor bookstore in the US).
