ProVelo Super League Round 5 took us to the classic one day race, The Grafton to Inverell. For the women, it was a 106km race from Mt Mitchell to Inverell.

It started in the highlands, just out of Glen Inness. An early start had the roads covered in mist for the first hour when a whole series of attacks lit oup the first 30km. By the time the race made it through the highlands town, an escape of five had made it away, with Rhylee and two Praties teammates and Rachel Wales from Butterfields in the group.

Surprisingly for the peloton the gap opened to more than 4 minutes, with only 30km and there was a lack of motivation to close it down. Ultimatley the break made the finish almsot 2 minutes ahead fo the peloton, Rhylee managed to make it acorss the line for 3rd and first U23 rider, while Lauren won the bunch sprint for 6th.
