Monday Morning Coffee By By Billy Rainford Good morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend and was able to catch some of the moto action from above and below the border. We’re so busy at our races that I really don’t even get a chance to check out the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross action until sometime in the middle of the week. Did Ricky Carmichael win? I’m starting to
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Whew, it’s one of those Monday mornings where I feel like I might as well have done two motos at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary! At the end of a long weekend of racing, nothing feels as good as A) getting that finger in your nose as you leave the track (don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about!) and B) just
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Well, folks, it’s finally here and it answered a lot of pre-season questions…and raised a few others. Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals Round 1 is in the books. #15 Shawn Maffenbeier gave the Redemption Racing team it’s first-ever overall win and #118 Davi Millsaps put his KTM Thor Racing 450 on the top step of the podium (that, for some reason, sat beside the

Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend and managed to get out to a track or a trail somewhere. How are you drinking your cup this morning? Regular? Black? Well, I thought I’d check out some stats on that, and here’s what I found out: From: www.statisticbrain.com I’m one of the 65%, how about you? Anyway, now that the stats are
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hola, and welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee. This week, we’re coming to you from a quiet little fishing village about 40 kms outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, called Sayulita. Well, the last time I was here it could have been described as that, but that was 13 years ago. Today, Sayulita has become a very popular destination for…everyone! This place is so different
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Wow, what day is it? Who thought driving to Boston and back from London, Ontario, was a good idea?! Oh ya, it was me. When they announced that the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series was heading back to Gillette Stadium this year, I knew I wanted to be there. When the date approached, I started to realize this was going to be a quick
Monday Morning Coffee|Presented by PR-MX By Billy Rainford Some Monday Mornings, I sit here at my computer and I’m not really sure where to start. Well, this strange feeling in my right arm tells me exactly where to begin. Here’s the thing, although I’m buried below my eyeballs in this sport these days, rarely does it give me the chance to actually ride. As anyone will tell you, a job
Monday Morning Coffee|Presented by PR-MX.ca By Billy Rainford Hey, how’s the weather where you are? I have to say, we had a really gentle winter in my neck of the woods this year. London, Ontario, sits in what has always been called ‘The Snow Belt’ and this year we must have been wearing suspenders because we didn’t really get many snowfalls.

Monday Morning Coffee Presented by PR-MX | KTM Canada Road Trip Edition By Billy Rainford Hello from sunny and hot Southern California!

Seriously, I wonder what people are doing living through winters in Wisconsin when people are out here cycling, surfing and riding dirt bikes all year long. You want snow? Head to the mountains.
