Bay Area: Head Outside and Win an REI Exclusive Outdoor Experience

Rosie Bubb - Apr 9, 2018

When people think of the great outdoors, they often think of distant locations like national parks. This habit may be one of the reasons why the average American now spends 95% of their time indoors.*That’s why we’re excited to partner with REI to remind people that even in cities, the beauty of nature is a short ride away.

From April 10 through 15, Bay Area locals can get $5 off 6 rides to or from these locations: Bay Bridge bike path, Ocean Beach, Lands End, McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, Golden Gate Park, Lake Merritt, Marin Headlands, Tilden Park, Crissy Field Waterfront, and Mount Sutro.

When you claim your deal and request and ride to or from the locations above, you’ll get the chance to win one of two exclusive REI outdoor experiences in the Bay Area. If you take six rides, that means six chances to win.

Ride to win with REI

Five winners will enjoy an overnight campout in the Bay Area with a friend. Just bring a daypack with your clothing and toiletries and REI will provide the rest. When you arrive, REI will have the campsite decked out with everything you need to enjoy a night under the stars. There’ll be local beer and snacks, s’mores around the campfire, gourmet dinner and breakfast, and your sleeping bags are yours to keep. Five winners will get to enjoy this experience.

75 winners and their guests will win an outdoor experience brought to you by REI featuring a concert produced by Sofar Sounds. With the right audience and the right location, live music can create a special kind of magic. Sofar captures this by transforming unexpected spaces into intimate venues for secret, live shows. The REI x Sofar gig will feature three diverse local acts, and a unique performance under the stars.
