"**Gravity East Series Schedule**
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
----------
Below is the proposed Gravity East Series Schedule for the 2007
season. This will be a series encompassing many of the different
downhill & slalom/mtn cross events up and down the East Coast, from
New England to the Carolinas!
This series has been a long while in the making and comes from loads
of discussions over the past couple years between racers, promoters,
and the folks at USAC. This series is designed to showcase the
amazing variety of riding and elite level of racing on the East Coast
to the global cycling world! East Coast Unity!
1. May 5/6 - Duryea Downhill, PA
2. May 12 - Massanutten Yee-Ha!, VA
3. May 20 - Diablo Freeride Park, NJ
4. June 2/3 - Plattekill, NY
5. June 15-17 - Whitetail/Capital Cup, PA
6. July 14/15 - (location to be confirmed)
7. August 11/12 - Wolf Laurel, NC
8. September 2 - Whiteface Mountain, NY
9. September 22/23 - Mount Snow, VT
10. September 29/30 - Whisp, MD
11. October 13/14 - Series Finals Plattekill, NY
All of these dates are tentative at the moment and are subject to
change. A series website and ranking system is in process. Keep your
eyes peeled for more detailed info in the coming weeks.
The plan is to have overall series cash purses for Pro & Expert
categories and good prizes for the Beg/Sports. Best 7 of 11 races
will count toward the overall. Promoters of these events will surely
be stepping their courses and events up a couple notches for this
series!
