MGP Cycling | Team Work Makes the Dream Work @ 2022 Tour of the Hilltowns Road Race Race Analysis @MGPCycling | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Hey everyone! This is my race analysis for the June 25th, 2022 Tour of the Hilltowns road race, Masters 40+ and 50+ combined fields. It's taken a while to get some of these races from last year setup and analyzed, so apologies for the loooong gap. But rest assured these will be coming regularly going forward!
That said, this race was all about the East Hawley Rd climb, and the rollers that came after it. I definitely have quite a bit to talk about and share with you from this race, so thanks for watching!
Big thanks to the Northampton Cycling Club for sponsoring this race as well. Definitely looking to doing it in 2023 and beyond! It's a definite keeper.
