I visit the SoCal/LA area at least once a year. Latigo is fantastic, but the ride on PCH from Santa Monica is really sketchy. For mtn biking, I've been hitting up the trails around Echo Mtn. Last time I was there I parked at the end of Lower Gabrelino Trail, took the road to Merrill trail to Sunset Ridge to Malliard Canyon to El Prieto and back down Gabrelino. Merrill is a very technical single track climb, but it gets you to some beautiful views and descents.
