How should we bicycle from The San Fernando Valley to Phoenix?

Our family of three adults is planning a bicycle tour (of adventure and utility) from our son’s home at Ventura Blvd. and Coldwater Canyon to Phoenix, Arizona. We will be departing on Sunday morning Christmas Eve day so we think traffic will be lower. We are unsure how to best navigate ourselves through the city as well as what best route to take once out of the city as we cross California and into Arizona. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Take Coldwater Canyon north to Moorpark. Moorpark east until it turns into Riverside Drive. Stay on Riverside all the way into Griffith Park and it will turn into Zoo Drive. Take Zoo Dr. to Colorado Dr. or Blvd. (I am not sure) cross over the Freeway and stay on Colorado all the way through Pasadena continuing east. Colorado Blvd becomes Historic Route 66 in Pasadena and should take you all the way through San Bernardino and points east. Maybe a call to AAA or the California Highway Patrol for directions for cyclists through the desert. I think Route 66 goes most of the way if not, a few Hwy 10 frontage roads like the aforementioned post suggested. The road will change names a couple of times from Colorado Blvd. to Foothill Blvd. and such, but the “Mother Road” is well marked with Historical Route 66 markers, fun old neon Motels, great people, safe roads and plenty to see. So just follow the signs through LA County. Your big decision will be in San Bernardino as to whether to stay on Route 66 up through Barstow and east to Flagstaff then south to Phoenix, or follow Interstate 10 directly through the desert to Palm Springs. Either way, you will arrive in Needles, cross the Colorado River and then on into Phoenix.
Remember, “It’s the journey, not the destination.”
