Big gathering this weekend in Ashland for the annual 12-mile Super D downhill race. We had the chance to scout the course earlier this week and despite a wet and cold spring it was primo Ashland — tacky, not dusty, just slightly soft in a couple of places lower down. A few spots are a bit rutted and it won’t get any better over the course of 3 days of pounding. But what a scene!
Rebecca Rusch is in town along with pros from all over. This is the “spring Downieville” so catch it if you’re in the area! Full schedule here.
