Galyean wins Gravity East opener in Snowshoe
O'Connor victorious in men's race




On a great weather weekend high atop the Allegheny Mountains the Gravity East Series (GES) kicked off its 2011 season in style at Snowshoe Mountain Resort in Snowshoe, West Virginia.
Race #1 drew a strong turnout among the women in all categories. In the elite women's race, Anne Galyean (East Coast Gravity) from Chapel Hill, North Carolina edged out 18-year-old Lauren Daney (Specialized/Grom Racing) from Stafford Virginia. Rae Gandolf (Sierra Nevada Brewing) of Zanesville, Ohio, was third.
In the elite men's race, Leland O'Connor from Los Osos, California, edged out a local rider Trevyn Newpher (Grom/Snowshoe/Chainsmoke) from Snowshoe by nine-tenths of a second, followed by three competitors from Vermont all belonging to the same team including last year's second place GES Champion Gavin Vaughn (RM East/Sugarbush) of Sharon, Vermont, in fourth. Adam Morse was third.
The Gravity East Series round two will happen in two weeks at Wisp Resort in McHenry, Maryland on the weekend of June 18-19.
