The sun has set an another outstanding summer racing season at Heffron Park with last night's final round in the 12 week Trek Bike Series run under clear autumn skies. With the 3 competition jerseys for Series Leader, A/B grade Sprint King and C grade Leader already decided, the final round didn't have the usual suspense and excitement of who was going to grab the last round points, but still had all the drama of a tough night's racing.

Missing from action this week was none other than Easts Supremo, Frank Conceicao who after 30 years of cycling appears not to have quite mastered the art of putting on a rain vest and riding hands free at the same time while he was out training at the weekend. Even without Frank's guidance, C grade were once again able to hold off the entire field to record their 5th consecutive outright win. In a slight upset to the script, line honours went to Duncan Markham who soloed his way to victory.

Determined to finish the Series with a consolation win, Anthony Spurgeon stormed home to take the A grade sprint and sneak into 3rd on the Sprint King table, while Trent Iliffe won B grade proving that last weeks 1100km Starlight Charity Ride from Melbourne to Sydney did wonders for his form.

Well, that's it for another year.The racing was as tough as ever, especially with likes of European Pros, Matt White and Graeme Brown, World Track Champions, Steve Wooldridge and Mark Renshaw doing their bit to keep the racing honest. Pity there isn't a rainbow jersey for handicapping.

On behalf of all the riders a big hearty thank you must go to Pat Johnston and Jenny Spurgeon who almost singlehandedly made it all happen, week in week out. Thanks also to the generosity of the Randwick Botany team Fred and Helen Vella, John Buckton, Richard Jenkins and Tony Horneman who generously made their clubrooms and facilities available each week. Last but not least, thanks to our resident St Johns Medic, Roy Magill who was always on hand to patch us up when we had the misfortune of a fall.

Ride safely over winter, go hard and see you on the start line next summer.
