The Gravity East Series rolls into Southern Vermont for the second stop in the Green Mountain State to “The Beast” Killington Resort the weekend of August 13 & 14 for race #6 of the series. Killington Resort has returned with a vengeance to the mountain bike scene with the new Kona Groove Approved Mountain Bike Park. This is the second year in a row for hosting the GES. Once again this year the course will utilize a new and improved trail from the top of Killington Peak elevation 4241’ to the base just west of the K-1 Gondola.

Killington Resort creates a truly party atmosphere with a concert on Saturday afternoon after practice from 3:30- 6:00 p.m. The “Cooler in the Mountain” free concert series continues this weekend with the Band Twiddle. Twiddle is a local Vermont quartet band playing on the very large concert stage venue located behind the K-1 Mountain Base Lodge. There will be a barbecue on the K-1 deck overlooking the Killington Peak and concert venue.

Thanks, I usually check the monday after each race and sometimes it takes a few hours for it to be updated or for me to find it (either that I am looking in the wrong place).

Thanks again!
