REEL-Bike in Theater

Last night I experienced the perfect Sacramento summer night filled with friends, bikes, a free movie, and deliciousness. The event was a Bike-in Theater hosted at the The Greens Hotel .  The Hotel is this really rad eco-friendly, boutique hotel that reminded me of our stay at Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. The courtyard had food trucks parked right inside selling delicious nibbles for pretty good prices, and there was a little patio/bar area by the pool serving local Track Seven Brewery beer and playing great tunes. The hotel rooms surrounding the lobby were open and filled by local boutiques who had set up little pop-up shops to sell their wares. From the hotel staff, to the vendors, and the other movie goers-- everyone seemed to be in great spirits. Our posse of 7 were among the few who actually rode their bikes, but we had a warm reception when we rolled in. We scored a great spot right in front to lay out our blankets and enjoyed some shopping, eating and drinking before watching Indiana Jones on the big screen. It was a perfect summer night. AND it's going to be happening every first and third Thursday August-October. There is already a plan to meet at Golden Bear first next time, so we can get an even bigger group to ride together. 

Here's the facebook link to the event : https://www.facebook.com/REELbikeintheater 

If you can make it happen I highly recommend this fun, free event! 

My only regret is that we left our Canon at home, but next time, we will for sure bring it.
