Location: Hillingdon, London
Event: 6 April 2013
Report: Snowdon Sports
The excellent weather saw the Beyond Spring Crits 3 extremely well supported as Ken Buckley came through a tough sprint finish to take victory.
The AW Cycles rider was part of a group of eight which got away with ten laps to go after the field had stuck together for the majority of the race.
Two more riders chased the leaders but never threatened the top eight and as the finish line came into view, it was Buckley who powered through.
Leszek Wuziak (Twickenham) was another sprint winner as he was quickest in the category four race which was somewhat marred by a crash which left a rider with a broken collarbone. Tom Beasley (ELV) came second and Ewan Tuohy (Catford CC) finished third.
The number of women entering has grown steadily and this time it was Harriet Owen (Matrix Fitness) who came through a field of over 20 riders to take victory.
