If you're watching @LeTour and wondering why Saint-Martin-Vésuble is surrounded by a moonscape it's the aftermath of storm Alex in 2020 😬

Stage 17 of the #GirodItalia passes along one of our favorite geo-landmarks of Italy, the Sella Pass, and the the famous Sella Massif! This massif is a Triassic (240 million year old) atoll! In the early to middle Triassic, the continental crust of (Greater) Adria continent broke up in two in the northeast, on the Balkan side. This was probably related to subduction processes that occurred in that region and that are now long-gone, but in any case, it was associated with formation of large volcanoes, also in the Dolomites. Once the volcanism went extinct, the region subsided and because it was close to the equator, limestone and dolomite deposition occurred. At the location of the Sella Massif, is a ring-shaped, high ridge made of reef limestones and dolomites formed, with in the center a flat area: a lagoon. The Sella Massif is an atoll! And it was uplifted, and eroded, but not much deformed, so you're looking pretty much at the original thing! Atolls are best known from the Pacific Ocean, where they form on top of seamounts - underwater volcanoes that reach shallow water. Reefs then form on the crater rims, and grow upwards to compensate for the subsidence of the volcano. It wasn't quite that setting here in the Dolomites, that may have looked more like volcanoes on the modern eastern margin of Australia. But an atoll is an atoll, and you can still imagine the white beaches and palm trees! Enjoy a cocktail at the pass today gentlemen! @UniUtrecht @UniUtrechtPE @UUGeo @UUEarthSciences

I'd forgotten the Kafkaesque joys of trying to support a child's @SF_England student finance application. I think I've worked out that the only way I (with ancient student loan history) can contact them successfully is by physical letter 😂

Report on Saturday's hill climb - Ezra on the 'grown up' podium with 3rd (and 1st junior) :-)

If you love someone who loves badges (like Ezra does) then Pin Badge Club is amazing - give it a go!

Can anyone remind me who made these cantilever pads? #retrobike #1990s #memoryfail

Nice mention for Ezra's efforts yesterday in the report - 4th overall and fastest youth/junior :-)

This was a lovely night - always really enjoy @mrendell's words (books, TV, pods, etc) and @thethirdumpire very gracefully teased some great stories out of him :-)

I'm going to start posting the 'searing' times I've set in the last week, compared to handful of riders who have also ridden it in the last week 🤣 I guess "Valteri Bottas rides OK up Willunga Hill to 3512th place, just sneaking into the top 20%" wouldn't have got the click!

Taking a quiet minute to browse the local climbs in the @100Climbs Yorkshire book the kids got me for Xmas... and forced to revisit my Caper Hill pain on a singlespeed MTB and with a pinged patella tendon to remember it by 🤣

We need to challenge Tories like Rachel MacLean claiming that a bonkers Rwanda policy is meeting an election promise. Three PMs after the election this is still a fantasy - there was nothing in the 2019 Conservative manifesto even close to this #Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
