The first Randwick Botany Cycling Club criterium race for 2004 at Heffron Park featured a two man breakaway in the 36km A Grade event. Watched by his parents visiting from Armidale, Peter McDonald paired with young gun Robert Cater to put 300m on the chasing A Grade bunch by the closing stages of the race. Cater won the sprint and congratulated McDonald on the warm down lap for a gusty performance in hot, humid and sunny conditions. Cyclingnews.com editor Jeff Jones won the sprint for third place, followed home by Klayten Smith and Michael Cowan.

Roger Crawford did a solo break in the B Grade 32km race and didn't look back. Brendan Ingram tried to bridge the gap a few times, but returned to the bunch to fight out the sprint and second place, followed by Andy Matthews and young Thomas Murdoch.

C Grade set a casual average speed of only 33 km/h over 28km - perhaps recovering from the excesses of the festive season? "It was an easy pace today", commented Arthur Driver (Penrith Panthers) who placed first. The fox Shaun Ballesty was second and junior rider Luke Davison came in third.

Junior racing will commence at 1pm on Saturday 7 February 2004, with an exciting new junior race programme developed by the Junior Development Committee. More information can be obtained from the Junior Support Co-ordinator Janette Murdoch.
