Randwick Botany Cycling Club President John Buckton and big Steve Foster made a daring breakaway in the 32km B-Grade race at Heffron Park on Saturday 2 October 2004. The pair made the break at the 10km mark and stayed away for 3 laps. The bunch was back together again for the mass sprint which was won by Kevin Black (Sydney) followed by Arthur Driver (Penrith Panthers), Andrew Hall (Randwick Botany) and Darren Bender (Sutherland).

Erin Chamberlen was the star of C-Grade, sitting second wheel for most of the 28km. Placegetters were Nathan Saunders (Eastern Suburbs), Matthew Cordery (Sutherland), John Revez (Sydney) and regular placegetter Tony Caruana (Randwick Botany).

The winner of this year's 228km Grafton to Inverell Cycle Classic, Peter McDonald, joined a strong A-Grade field in the 38km event. Averaging just under 40kmh for the race a photo finish was required to separate Jersy Sowa and Josh Marden at the end. Third place went to Luis Trueba (Lidcombe Auburn) followed by McDonald.
