A few of you may already know of this ride being readers of thewashingmachinepost.net.

At 10:00am on the 2nd of August 2009 The Ride of the Falling Rain will be taking place in Islay, Scotland. The ride is a 100 mile ride around the Island starting and finishing in a quain café. There will be a pasta dinner afterwards at 6:30pm where you can chat away about the day.

I'll be travelling from Glasgow and if anyone is wanting a lift/someone to help organise travel and accomodation for them then feel free to contact me. If you're in London I'd advise getting a Saturday train and staying in Glasgow for the night (I can look after bikes and arrange transport to wherever you want to stay. I can maybe even arrange entertainment for the evening)

Timings look like this:

Saturday 1st August 2009

0900 - Depart Glasgow (car)
1230 - Arrive Kennacraig
1300 - Depart - Kennacraig (ferry)
1505 - Arrive - Port Askaig

Monday 3rd August 2009

0945 - Depart - Port Ellen (ferry) (arrive by 0900)
1205 - Arrive - Kennacraig
1210 - Depart - Kennacraig (car)
1600 - Arrive - Glasgow

Pricing
Petrol from Glasgow: £10
Ferry: £14.95
Accomodation: £26
Entry: £10
Total: £60.95

Once one starts squealing, the rest tend to join in, so I find it best to gag them all from the start, when the night is but young.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
