I regularly ride up to the observatory and go down the other side, depending on which loop I'm taking, clockwise or counter-clockwise from my house in Echo Park. I do this on late Thursday afternoons. It's a very nice casual ride and when you hop the maintenance gates (depending on which way you're coming from) there is absolutely no traffic through the back canyon roads.
As far as having breakfast, we usually have breakfast or brunch after a ride, as eating a full meal before a ride can bog some people down. Have fun!
