I have tried Rte 1 as an alternate route to San Francisco. It gets kinda surrel near Pacifica (Devil's Slide) but it's a shorter stretch. Anything that brings you to freeeway before SF takes an extra hour. SInce I am south of Santa Cruz I can also take 101 to 152 and Heckler Pass, but that's 15mph in places and usually clogged with tailgaters who drive it daily. Fun road late at night though.
