Wow, I'd have to have to leave early to make that schedule. Maybe I'll shoot I5 up and take the coast road on the way back instead. Then I can leave around 6 instead of around 3.

From Vince's to the Nick.
Straight up the 5 is is 1 hour and 15 minutes ride non stop. ( not Iron Barrel friendly)
The inland route avoiding freeways is 2 hours and and 30 minutes not including gas or coffee or rider stops. My guesstimate is more like three hours.
The west of the sound route/coast road is 2 hours and 56 not including boarding and debarkation time at the ferry docks or coffee and rider stops.
My guesstimate is 3 hours and a half.
No plan set in stone just yet.
