Breakneck Speed Hike was planned to be quick. So, we crushed this 10 mile beast to Beacon in 4 hrs 30 min. Because we could. All about #perspective #whatyoumissed #thisiswhywehike #outerthere #nofilter #poppysburgers and #beer after, yeah!

If you rolled through, let me know what you thought about this trip by filling out this feedback form right hurr.

It was meant to be quick and that means ultra-light. See Outerthere recommendations for what to wear in the fall on a hike.

Whether you've hiked before or not, this will be one of your most favorite experiences. It's a grueling 1,000 foot climb straight up within the first hour. And it only gets more interesting the deeper we go. We'll be traversing the entire Breakneck-named trails until we hike the full 7 or 10 miles (depending on who's fitness monitor we use) north to Beacon, where we'll celebrate sitting... and burgers... and beer!

New twist: we're doing this hike at an aggressive pace, meaning, where it normally would take 5 to 6 hours to complete this hike, we'll be looking to complete it in 4. This trip will be for those looking to test their physical limits and ain't scared of sweating.

We'll be meeting at the main clock at Grand Central at 8:15 to grab the 8:45am train north to Breakneck station. We'll be returning from Beacon around 5p-ish. Yes, this will be a point-to-point trip.  Here's my handy-dandy checklist for what gear to bring.

As usual, there is no charge to be a guest on this trip. But bringing your best bud, your wingman, or significant other is highly encouraged.
