Description
According to winner, Nathan Riddle, the conditions at the 2014 Ashland Super D were like kitty litter on top of glass. It was a hot, dusty, slick race for the 4th event in the Oregon Enduro Series, but that just meant speeds were high and cooling off in the river was part of the routine. Sounds like a solid event to us! Dennis Yuroshek reports from Southern Oregon.
