The movie "A Simple Machine" was filmed entirely in the Portland area and is having a showing at Cinema 21. An earlier showing at the Hollywood Theatre sold out quickly, so get your tickets soon! This 4.5-mile group ride goes by some of the filming locations in the movie before arriving at Cinema 21 for the showing. The movie's director Mark Alan Hoffman will be with us, and he will explain the locations and take questions at each stop on the ride. This will be a "party pace" ride at about 8 MPH to accommodate everyone. And everyone is welcome on the ride even if you do not have a ticket for this showing. Starring Richard Blackmon in a breakout lead role, "A Simple Machine" follows Nick Allander as he tries to figure out his life’s direction during the late stages of the pandemic. A recent college grad, he makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices and goes off-grid to get out of debt. He’s unable to let his girlfriend-practically-fiancée in on his plans, forcing a difficult choice between a simple life on his bike or committing to the woman he loves.
