The WA group for coordination can be found in the comment section.

We'll meet at 07:45 at Munich Hauptbahnhof at the platform (look for a red cap 🧢) and take the RB56 to Lenggries at 08:02, and from Lenggries the bus 364 at 09:17 to the Brauneckbahn. From there we take the Brauneckbahn up (€26 round trip) and start hiking from the top at around 10:00. The route loops via Tutzinger Hütte and Tölzer Hütte back to Brauneck.
Please bring cash for lunch at the Tutzinger Hütte.

This is a hard cutoff hike. The last Brauneckbahn down is at 17:00. If one person can't keep pace, we all miss it and everyone walks down. If you're not confident you can handle 900m at a steady pace over a T2 route, please swap to an easier hike. Passphrase: "In cable car we trust."

Sign up only if you'll come. If you signed up, show up. Be on time. Cancel 24h+ in advance — late cancellations and no-shows may get you removed from the group.

The Deutschlandticket is valid on this route. If you don't have one, you'll need to purchase a valid train ticket yourself.

Please bring:

• A smile and good mood
• Proper hiking boots
• Enough water and snacks
• Cash for lunch and cable car (€26)
• Charged mobile phone

Cancer Sucks Riding Rocks - Charity Bike Ride [Carpool]

Fri, June 19 · 18:00 CEST

Bahnhof Pasing, Kaflerstraße, München, DE

Road trip to Franconia. Bikes on the roof. Charity on the agenda.

CancerSucksRidingRocks (CSRR), 3rd edition. Charity bike ride where 100% of the entry fee goes to the José Carreras Leukämie-Stiftung. We're piggybacking on an event organized by a fellow biker and friend of mine.
Official route is ~90 km / ~1,000 m elevation. We're expats, so rules are just suggestions. We'll cut the route to something manageable and skip whatever we feel like skipping. Charity ride, not a race. Ride at your own pace. Gravel, e-bike, mountain bike.

Friday, June 19

• 18:00 meet at Pasing Bahnhof
• Bikes on racks, people in cars
• Drive to Pleinfeld (~1.5 hours)
• Check into accommodation
• WhatsApp group link in the comments for coordination

Saturday, June 20

• 08:00 start at Sportheim des 1. FC Pleinfeld
• Ride
• Afternoon/evening drive back to Munich

Costs

• Entry fee: €27. Register and pay directly to the organizer: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPKAjUZc0bjpMu1xKEckv11_Mgvl2aDE0p8-iJMs5XFcOAaQ/viewform
• Accommodation: roughly €60 per person, details in the WhatsApp group
• Fuel: split evenly per car

Everything is paid up front. Entry fee goes to the organizer, accommodation and fuel money goes to me. I book for everyone. If you cancel after I've booked, that's your loss.

Carpool spots

• Zoltan's car: 2 bike rack slots, 1 open
• Batiste's car: 2 bike rack slots, 1 open

Spots are limited by bike racks, not by clicks. Got a car with a bike rack? Message me. More cars = more spots.

Clawfinger - Before We All Die Tour @ Backstage

Thu, Oct 22 · 18:00 CEST

Werk, Backstage, Reitknechtstraße 6, 80639 München, München, DE

Clawfinger... the biggest, the best, better than the rest, one of the hardest-hitting rap-metal bands of the 90s is coming to Munich, and we're not missing it. If you know, you know.

The Plan:

• 18:00 - Meet somewhere near Backstage for food & beers. Location TBD — do what I say and check the WhatsApp group for updates.
• ~19:30 - Head to Backstage Werk.
• 20:00 - Doors open. Clawfinger takes the stage. Nothing going on in your living room tonight.

Important Info:

• Age: 18+ (ID required)
• Dress code: Whatever you want. You don't have to look perfect as long as you're pretty fucking close.
• Tickets: Available at Eventim - get them NOW. Don't wake me up when they're sold out and you missed it.

I am going to create a WA group for coordination.

Note: This is a ticketed concert organized by Backstage Werk, not by our meetup group. We're just going together as a group. Everyone is responsible for purchasing their own tickets and for their own safety/behavior at the venue.
