What's the best way for me to get from the SF Valley to the Von's meetup place? I'm already committed to an AZ run on the Saturday just prior to this month's run. I would love to come back often if I can get away.

At that time of the morning, there won't be traffic issues no matter what route you take. So you could google map it from your point of origin in the SFV and be pretty much okay no matter what it suggests.

Depends on where exactly in the Valley. If you will be at the northwest end of the SFV, then maybe take the 405 to Topanga Canyon, then take PCH south to Sunset (to the Vons). From points in the SFV further south or east, then take the 101 to the 405 south -- from there you can either do Sunset Blvd west to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) or take the 10 freeway west then North on PCH to Sunset. While driving Sunset Blvd is a little more scenic than staying on the 405 to the 10 freeway, Sunset is definitely a speed trap risk since it goes through a LOT of residential zones and you find yourself enjoying the view and not paying attention until LE lights you up and you realize you were doing 45 in a 35 zone.

Sunday August 28
Vons at 8:30am (meet) and depart by 9am. This gives everyone a 30 minute window to arrive.
Vons parking lot on the PCH side

Bring sunscreen, drinking water, and a full tank of gas. All of which can be obtained at or near the Vons. Potty breaks are encouraged before we head out since there aren't many options other than bushes where we drive. Also, it is supposed to be quite warm this weekend, so be sure to heed the advice about bringing water to drink.
We will eventually end up near somewhere for food. :-)
