Team Expo lined up four Cat 4s for this year’s Tour of the Hilltowns.  The rough roads and packed field took their toll on half of team Expo as Mike M’s ride was cut short by a flat, and Dave J’s aspirations for a good race were derailed as he came to a halt to avoid a pile-up (he’s OK).  The hills, in particular that beast of a climb called East Hawley Road, and tough competition brought on a case of bad cramps for Dennis D as the race drew to a close, sending him a minute or two off the lead pack (read his write-up here).  The only rider to leave the event with a smile on his face was Dave D, either due to some satisfaction in a great personal effort, or because he’s a masochist and loved the pain inflicted by the Tour of the Hilltowns.
