The team showed up with three riders for the second stop of the Gravity East Series at Seven Springs Resort in Pennsylvania. The course was fast and fun with only one truly technical area - a jagged rock garden that spanned only about 50 feet.
The rain rolled in after practice on Saturday afternoon, which took care of the dry, dusty corners. By race time on Sunday the course was tacky and smooth, with only minimal mud to deal with. Nick had a fall in the rock garden, which left him with a sprained ankle and no way to pedal through to the finish. Ross and I slipped by without injury and completed our runs at 2:39 and 2:29 respectively. Ross raced CAT1 which netted him 20th spot, while I competed in CAT2 and found myself in 1st place.
It was a successful weekend and certainly an improvement on the GES stop #1 at Massanutten.
