Highland Mountain Bike Park in Northfield, New Hampshire, served as the fourth stop of the Gravity East Series, signaling the halfway point for the whole series.
What a weekend it was. Due to many factors, this was one of the best stops of the Gravity East Series this year. The wonderful sunny, race day weather played a major role in making such a great weekend. Even with a rain storm on Saturday that made the freshly cut race course a bit tricky in Saturday's practice, racers were not deterred as the event drew 180 racers for the weekend.
By the time the downhill race took place on Sunday, the race course conditions were perfect. The technical rocky descents, bermed turns, and fresh loamy soil made up a race course that tested riders' skills and their will to let off the brakes.
Racing in all the categories has been close all season, but especially in the pro men's field. After a race run crash at Plattekill Mountain Bike Park on the July 4th weekend, Geritt Beytagh was determined to get back on the top of the podium.
He did so with authority by throwing down a blistering time of 1:53.8 followed by Ben Moody with a 1:56.6 in second and Gavin Vaughan with a 2:00.3 in third.
In the pro women's field, Joanna Peterson won with a 2:18.3 followed by Dawn Bourque with a 2:28.8 in second and Karen Egan with 2:33.5 for third.
