Coming from someone who almost drives all over LA, OC, IE for work, on a regular basis, in the heat of traffic, you are no more than an hour and 30 Minutes from home.
That's standard issue drive time for me so traffic don't bother me.
The Rancho Cucamonga to Brea drive in nasty traffic os an hourd.
There are side streets from here and that takes about 45your minutes.
Just my. 02¢…
