When I last wrote a piece for this blog, 9 months ago, I’d just managed to climb Ventoux in a respectable time, claim a dubious cardiac efficiency victory over Laurens Ten Dam, and had started to dip my toe deeper into the uber geeky world of cycling power figures.

READER'S RIDE: DAVID'S HARTLEY ROAD DISC HEAD TURNER
The story behind Hartley Cycles starts with frame-builder Caren Hartley who draws upon her vast experience of contemporary metalwork techniques which are put to use in creating bespoke frames which can equally pass as works of art.
