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. Of course, having said that, we got a spring
Monday Morning Coffee Presented by PR-MX | KTM Canada Road Trip Edition By Billy Rainford Hello from sunny and hot Southern California! Like I ask myself every time I’m in BC, why doesn’t everyone live out here?! 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.
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
