Live from my marshalling spot at the Single Speed UK Mountain Bike Championships...
I like this chilled out style of racing 🙂

Fellow Mastodon cycling folk,
A good friend of mine is organising the 2026 Singlespeed UK Mountain Bike Championships and I would like to help spread the word.
If riding your MTB without the all those seemingly unnecessary sprockets and derailleurs is your thing, this could be for you.
As the website says: 'One Golden Rule.
Anything goes as long as you can’t change gear. Bring the passion, leave the derailleurs'.

Inside the gorgeous little Winchcombe parish church, England. Seems to be setup for a slide show.
Brecciation at the grain scale within the lithologies of the #Winchcombe Mighei-like carbonaceous #chondrite: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/maps.14164 -> A Splashy Meteorite Was Forged in Multiple Collisions: https://eos.org/articles/a-splashy-meteorite-was-forged-in-multiple-collisions - the Winchcombe #meteorite was recovered, largely from a driveway, just hours after it fell to Earth, preserving evidence that its early relatives could have filled Earth’s oceans.
Last night Leicester Astronomical Society, of which I am a member, had a talk by Dr Paul Fellows about the #winchcombe #meteorite #space #astronomy #leicester
Our Christmas hours this year are exactly the same as our regular hours - Thursday, Friday & Sunday 11-3, including Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve! You will often find us open a little earlier and later in the day but these are our core times.
Good morning bibliophiles. It's a bit of a grey day in Winchcombe, perfect for reading or book shopping.

Day two at the Winchcombe Walkers are Welcome festival in the Cotswolds. Todays theme was flora and we spotted Green Winged Orchids as well as stunning bluebell woods. #WalkersAreWelcome #Snowshill #Winchcombe #Cotswolds #Orchid #Flora #Walking #Hiking #Architecture
Attended my first event at Walkers are Welcome walking festival at Winchcombe in the Cotswolds. Bus to an organic vegetable nursery, a tour and then walk back to Winchcombe. Fantastic weather and stunning views with all the wild flowers left to flourish. #NoMowMay #Cotswolds #WalkersAreWelcome #Alderton #Winchcombe #Walking #Saturday #Summer #View #Organic #Tomatoes #Nursery #WildFlowers #walk
The #Winchcombe #fireball—That lucky survivor: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/maps.13977 -> the "progenitor meteoroid was three orders of magnitude less massive (∼13 kg) than any previously observed carbonaceous fall. The Winchcombe meteorite survived entry because it was exposed to a very low peak atmospheric dynamic pressure (∼0.6 MPa) due to a fortuitous combination of entry parameters, notably low velocity (13.9 km s−1)." #meteorites
Walkers Are Welcome Town - Winchcombe
Winchcombe is an attractive, Saxon market town set in a valley in the glorious north Cotswolds. Walkers can explore the extensive network of well maintained footpaths, including the Cotswold Way and five other trails. A website aimed at walkers suggests where to walk, eat, sleep and visit. A welcome awaits.

This morning's curiosity to leave you thinking... a driveway meteorite... that contains water. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/meteorite-that-hit-u-k-driveway-contains-extraterrestrial-water-1.6163050 #meteorite #Winchcombe #water
Der #Winchcombe Meteorit enthielt Wasser, dessen Isotopenstruktur dem in irdischen Ozeanen sehr ähnlich ist sowie organische Moleküle wie Aminosäuren, den Bausteinen des Lebens ☄️ https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2022/november/winchcombe-meteorite-delivers-extraterrestrial-water-earth.html.

In England abgestürzter Meteorit brachte außerirdisches Wasser auf die Erde
Der Absturz eines Meteoriten über England vor anderthalb Jahren war tatsächlich der erhoffte Glücksfall für die Forschung. Jetzt gibt es Ergebnisse der Analyse.
The #Winchcombe #meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer #solar system: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abq3925 -> https://theconversation.com/a-pristine-chunk-of-space-rock-found-within-hours-of-hitting-earth-can-tell-us-about-the-birth-of-the-solar-system-194725
Researchers now published in #Science Advances another evidence covering the theory, that the #water on #earth originates from #meteorite impacts. In this study, they analysed a meteorite found in #Winchcombe, which was recovered shortly after falling and therefore unchanged by the environment. Amongst other results, they found a similiar #hydrogen isotopic composition to that on earth.
Ahead of a press conference on #JWST distant galaxies, #threethings for Thu Nov 17: 1. Raw JWST data showing #Titan were doing the rounds. Need experts to tell us what we’re seeing - features, or reflected light - but look! It’s a world! 2. studies of the #Winchcombe #meteorite support the idea that objects like this provided Earth’s water. My local observations confirm Earth has a lot of it. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-63631563.amp 3. Sam Sweeney’s new album is fab #astrodon
The #Winchcombe #meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer #solarsystem
The fireball was witnessed by more than a thousand people within hours, about 300 grams of the meteorite were found in a driveway and another 200ms recovered on farmland.
