After a road race opened the tour on Saturday she followed it up with a criterion race on Sunday, another road race yesterday and criterion again today.

Part of Cycling Australia's Subaru National Road Series for the first time, the event is shaping up to be one of the largest national events of its type.

For Wemyss, this is her first major event for the year and after three weeks off she is feeling the pinch.

"I rode in a Stawell Great Western race last week and was wiped out three kilometres in," Wemyss said.

"I'm not looking for outstanding results, I'll just take each race as it comes. The main thing is you race with heart."

Cycling as a whole has improved in Wemyss' three years of racing and with teams from Europe entered this year it will go up one step further.

"Cycling standard has been improving the last couple of years," Wemyss said.

"Once you get to this standard it doesn't get any easier."

Results from the four day competition will be in Friday's edition of the Stawell Times
