Ballarat Sebastopol’s Tim Canny said the race was open to all riders and the handicap could result in an exciting sprint finish, especially in the absence of national road series riders Liam and Nicholas White.
Canny said the club expected about 50 participants, but numbers could be impacted by the weather.
“The race has a bit of significance because a lot of the riders used to ride with Chris Cashin who was killed riding his bike,” Canny said.
“The weather isn’t looking great but someone who can battle the challenging course and also the inclement weather will be a more well deserving winner.”
Canny said the tough ride was good preparation for next week’s Victorian Road Series Fred Icke Road Race in Creswick.
Entries for the Cashin close on Friday at 4pm.
