St. Swithin’s at Showtime | July 14, 2013

When he died in 967, St. Swithin, the Saxon Bishop of Winchester, asked to be buried outside, so he would be trodden on and rained on.

Over the years, St. Swithin’s Day has become the UK’s version of Ground Hog’s Day. If it rains on St. Swithin’s Day – then there will be 40 days of rain in a row – if it is sunny on that day, the next 40 will be fine.

Being fans of British motorcycles, we’re going to be rooting for those 40 days to be filled with blue skies and sun.

Join us for an adventurous ride out of the city in the morning, followed by a meetup and party at Bloomingdale’s latest hotspot, Showtime Lounge (113 Rhode Island Ave NW). https://www.facebook.com/showtimebardc

Meet at Big Bear Cafe (1700 1st St NW Washington, DC 20001) at 11am. Kick Stands Up at 11:30am. We’ll tour south and east of the city and then return by 4pm to enjoy the lack of rain at Showtime Lounge.
