The Warny started in 1895 and is Australia's oldest one day race and the world's second oldest one day race, after the Liège–Bastogne–Liège Classic. The route starts in Melbourne and traditionally followed the Princes Highway to Warrnambool on Victoria's western coast.
The race was a handicap event from 1895 to 1995, with riders leaving Melbourne at different intervals. From 1996 the race has been conducted as a Scratch Race with a mass start with up to 250 entrants, categorized into A, B, C, and D grades over a distance of 267 km. In 2004 it was changed to 299.1 km. In the towns on route there are now sprint points to be earned for a sprint champion competition. With six climbs during the day, a King of the Mountains championship is also at stake.

Win Nalini Pro Collection kit worth $500 The aussie importers of Nalini have donated a $500 voucher for a member who takes the best 'warny photo' and posts it to this thread. The Nalini Pro Collection is yet to hit the shops, so you'll be the first in your training groups wearing the new kit that makes most others look poorly made.

Unlike most clothing manufactures, Nalini is actually tested in the extremes. COFIDIS, LE CRÉDIT EN LIGNE, EUSKALTEL - EUSKADI, FDJ, HTC-HIGHROAD, MOVISTAR TEAM, PRO TEAM ASTANA, RABOBANK CYCLING TEAM, SKY PROCYCLING and TEAM EUROPCAR all completed this years Tour de France wearing Nalini Clothing.
