2009 Trip Detail
Announcing 10 Degrees Latitude North America. How would you like to wake up to a warm breakfast, cycle all day along the Pacific coast, then dine with friends in the evening to the background harmony of the Pacific ocean waves? If so, you have come to the right place. We started 10DL as one part eco-tourism, one part adventure travel, one part quest. Join us, and together we will push ourselves to exceed our expecations.
Training starts now for our 2009 expedition across North America from the 42nd to the 32nd latitude. This is an expedition down the majestic California coastline. The event begins in Northern California and ends in Ensenada Mexico. It includes 1000 miles of biking and an epic 10-mile swim from San Quentin prison to Alcatraz. The bicycle portions of the journey will be supported by a logistics van that will carry all gear and replacement parts.
Join us for a journey of a lifetime,
Neal & Adam
10DL Founders
