With a shocking week of weather we were lucky to be greeted with a perfect winters morning for the first of the 4 race Promains Winter Crit Series. Phil Bramich, was a well deserved winner in A grade, after spending a long time crossing to a breakaway of 3 riders and then after they were caught late in the race made a move again with only a lap remaining to hold off the entire bunch by 50m in the finale. It is worth also noting that Phil is the only rider that has ridden in every Northern race since November 1, 2012, that being 26 races in total!! Well done, Phil B.
In B grade, Marco Bramucci won a tight sprint. Tony Quick won his 2nd C grade race for the year in the biggest field for the day. In D grade, David Drew had his first win following up from 4 places since February and E grade was won by octogenarian-ish visitor from Eastern, Michael Waterfield in the smallest field for the day.

Club Championships
The club championships was won in a sprint finish in a bunch of almost 20, just after Geordie Probert took a flyer with around 600m to ride but was caught a couple of hundred metres before the line. After long consultation between the referee and timekeepers the decision was made to declare the finish a dead heat between new members for 2013, Michael Borowski and Iain Clark with Glen O'Rourke 3rd. The secret handicap was won by David Brown.
