Friends,

Sadly, the chance of thunderstorms in Franconia just went up to 50% tomorrow. Since 4 miles of the hike is on an exposed ridge, getting caught there in a Thunderstorm is quite dangerous.

Unless one of you is 6'5" in which case the rest of us are safe from lightning.

So, there will be NO hike tomorrow. Blame the guy above.

I will be in touch as we plan it again and attempt to find a sunnier date.

Yours truly

MR

Ladies and Gents!

It's time for Hangover Part 3 and the the infinitely more epic Startup Hike Part 2!


TLDR:

Saturday June 8th, at 7:30 AM, we meet in front of 1 Broadway, Cambridge (CIC), drive up to New Hampshire, HIKE!, have awesome local dinner, and drive back to Boston.

to attend you MUST RSVP to me directly. tweeting #totallydrunkgoinghikingyolo doesn't count.

Significant others are welcome, friends too but please let me know before inviting folks for logistics purposes.

IIYSTR:
(Important Info You Should Totally Read)

1. Who and Why. Last Fall, in MassChallenge, Jess Cole, Jason Freeman, Jason Shin, and I decided to organize a hiking adventure. And we did! And it was awesome. So we're doing it again!

2. Where. We will *tentatively* be doing the Franconia Ridge trail. It's a serious hike, but arguably the most beautiful in the Northeastern USA. You can do it! We can help.

3. Drivers. Please let me know if you are able to drive.

4. What to bring/wear. Pack light! We'll provide breakfast and some energy bars/snacks, more is always welcome. Have layers! it can be 20 degrees colder on the summits than here.

FAQ

Q: This is a really long email. Do I get something for reading it?
A: High Five!

Q: I'm not sure I can handle a strenuous hike.
A: You probably can, but please email me. We'll gauge the difficultly of the route depending on people's responses, and updated route info will be available next week.

Q: I am planning to get drunk Friday night. You want me to get up at 7 on a Saturday?
A: Hiking works best with plenty of daylight. We strongly advise you limit your alcohol intake the night before. You can do it. YOLO.

Q: Moneyz?
A: If you split gas costs with your designated driver, it will be much appreciated.

Q: And what if it rains?
A: We will move the date by 1 week.

That's all! RSVP asap PLEASE!

Best,

Michael Raybman.
