Mulally wins in Seven Springs

The Gravity East Series rolled into Seven Springs Bike Park at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, Pennsylvania for GES round four.

On a very hazy, hot an humid weekend the competition really heated up and the notorious rock garden section of the Seven Springs Bike Park saw a bulk of the spectators gathered around for the thrills and spills of the downhill action.

In the elite women's category, Anne Galyean (East Coast Gravity) from Gaithersburg, Maryland, continued her winning ways with her third win of the season followed by the young phenom, Lauren Daney (Specialized/Grom Racing) from Stafford, Virginia with her third second place finish of the year.

In the elite men's category, the podium was dominated by the Mulally brothers. Neko Mulally (Trek World Racing), 18, from Reading, Pennsylvania, ran away with an eight-second advantage over the nearest competitor while his younger brother Logan Mulally (Specialized/Grom), 16, finished fourth.

The GES moves north to New England for its next three races. The first two stops are in the Green Mountain State of Vermont followed by a trip to New Hampshire. The Gravity East Series rolls on for round five in two weeks to Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont the weekend of August 6 - 7.

The GES announced that Seven Springs will be the future home to the Gravity East Finals in 2012 and 2013.
