Monday Morning Coffee|Presented by PR-MX.ca By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning, everyone. I hope you all had a great long weekend. We actually had some warm weather to enjoy in our neck of the woods – Southwestern Ontario – and lots of people got out to local tracks to get in some very early-season seat time. My plan was to head over to Gopher Dunes and shoot some video and
Monday Morning Coffee | Presented by PR.MX.ca By Billy Rainford Well, there’s another weekend in the books. Did you know that if you count from the age 20 until 80, that gives you 3120 weekends to enjoy. Actually, I was hoping that number would be frighteningly low and scare us into living every moment to its fullest, but that sounds like a lot of weekends. So, go ahead and sleep
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Wow, where to start after a weekend like that?! I guess I’ll just back it up a little because the past couple weeks have just sort of blended into one continuous moto memory. I was down south for the Atlanta Supercross and haven’t stopped since. The week after Atlanta was the Daytona SX and then the drive north started. Along the way, I wanted
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford You know those days at work when you are so busy you aren’t even sure if you’ll have time for your normal coffee break? Well, sometimes the actual coffee break is that busy too! I’m currently typing this from the comfort of the beautiful clubhouse/classroom/gym/kitchen/rec room at GPF in Cairo, Georgia. That all sounds great, but there are so many Canadian riders here this
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Did you take typing in high school? Is it even a thing anymore? I did not take it and I really wish I did. I’m currently going through an online typing class (free, of course) and I see a future when I can simply play a recorded interview and type it out as fast as the words come out of mouths. That is my
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Wake me up when it’s time to head down to Atlanta and Daytona! Wow, the ‘winter without snow’ disappeared in a hurry around here. Seriously, we went from green grass and the ability to ride to about 2 feet of snow here in the London, Ontario, area. Seemingly, overnight! On Saturday, we ventured out into the blizzard (I finally bought some off-camera flash equipment)
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hey, guess what? It’s not Family Day here in Ontario. Yes, it is out there in BC, so enjoy your day off. Next Monday is Family Day for Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Next Monday is Louis Riel Day in Manitoba, and it’s Islander Day in PEI. Here’s what I found at www.statutoryholidays.com: Family Day 2016 in Canada Family Day is celebrated on the 3rd
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Call it ‘Global Warming’ or ‘Climate Change,’ it doesn’t make any difference. The bottom line is that we’re seeing much warmer winter temperatures in these parts. To that point, there’s a good chance I’ll be getting together with a few buddies and going for a road cycle this afternoon – unheard of in London, Ontario, at the beginning of February! Yes, there are those
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hello and good morning from the west coast time zone. People who live out here must either have very late nights or very early mornings to get things timed to coincide with the rest of the continent. It’s already after noon beck east and there really didn’t seem to be anything I could have done about it this weekend. Oh well, pour yourself another
McThoughts: 250 West SX Predictions By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford It’s almost upon us. The 2016 West Coast 250 SX series is almost here. Cooper Webb has to be the odds on favourite to repeat, but if he falters, I see Jessy Nelson and Joey Savagty right there to capitalize. Here is a list of a few of the main hitters. I’m sure I have missed a few,
