Bit of a disaster recently, following a fire which almost took my house. An outbuilding caught fire and started to burn into the side of my house. No one was hurt and Miraculously my bikes were unharmed though the room they were stored in is fire damaged, the external door completely burnt through. I really expected to find my cf bike melted in a puddle! But No damage at all? Not even to the tires! I'm sure I have a guardian angel who is also a cyclist!

Glad to hear no injuries.
I know what it is like sadly (though we were fortunate enough never to loose the house/contents either). We used to live in a fire prone area (alongside a nature reserve & MOD training area). Every summer without fail we would see the tell tale smoke, several times a year... we would always be holding our breath... one year our home was literally only saved because a pilot taking off from Farnborough Airport radioed back to air traffic control that there was a fire... we came home to find the fire brigade using our house as the closest access point to the fire - it was less than 25metres from our home. We were allowed in to get a change of clothes and overnight stuff and that was the last we saw of the house for 5 days... The only reason we knew it had not burnt down was the fact that the answering machine still answered proving we had a telephone line, electricity and more importantly still had an answering machine! We invested in a fire proof safe after that, and keep computer backups off site in more than 1 location!

Make a fishing pole holder for your bike. Then you can try to catch a fish in the North Sea and the Irish Sea, in the same day, via bicycle. Just a thought.
After I get my riding fitness back a little more I might try to do a 100km a month ride but I won't be putting in quite as many miles as I was. I do think I am going to join a gym that has a pool though. I want to mix things up a little and see how that goes.

Yeah I spotted the 12-30. In your expert opinion do you think I'll get away with it?

Glad to hear there was not more damage and you didn't get hurt. With all the miles you have been doing lately I would have thought it might have been the tires that started the fire! I like the way you spell tires too.
Here is todays offering. I have no idea how i did it so fast (in my terms) in such awful weather. It was like cycling through a river a lot of the time.

Journey was eventful, there are lots of fibres hanging out of the exhaust, some sort of failure of exhaust
It's mega_hilly
Will be a good test! Not tomorrow though
Also nearly ran out of petrol, first petrol
Station closed, second had to wait 1/2 hour for tanker delivery to finish

Well I got a 28th to work on a Sora RD3300 its max was supposed to be 27 it might also have done 29th but I damaged the hanger adjusting the B-post screw to get clearance, you could get a Tiagra 12-30 which are the same ratios which are £13 @ CRC chances are it will, though you may need to adjust the b-post for clearance on the 30th, if that works you can then get the Ultegra if it works for you.
It got me thinking though about the front on a compact double, I was thinking maybe a 32/48 option with an 11-28 rear giving you 30.1"-114" but apparently the 110mm BCD can only go down to 33th, so scratch that idea.
Edit the other option is a fit a 105 RD
