By Billy Rainford I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I guess a lot of people reading this now spent the majority of it behind the steering wheel as they made their way across the country to Walton Raceway. That’s right, we’re heading to our biggest week of motocross racing in a couple days. Hopefully, all the preparation and money spent will come together in a memorable and successful
By Billy Rainford I hope everyone had a great weekend. We’re currently buzzing along heading west on the 401 after a long few days at the ECAN and the MX National at Motocross Deschambault. Emily is putting in a nice shift in the driver’s seat as I drink my coffee and recap our time in Quebec. I have to start out with a gripe. We’ve got a GoPro Hero 9
By Billy Rainford Wow, it took me an entire day to recover from that humidity at Red Bud. Friday for the MX Combine was off-the-charts hot! I bet if you talked to any one of them who were on the line they’d tell you it was comparable to Loretta Lynn’s in Tennessee in August. Saturday started out overcast and bearable but then the clouds moved away and the day got
By Billy Rainford I just couldn’t do 2 weeks in a row away from the races, so when I found out my old buddy #55 Cary Hitchen was racing the TVR event on the back track (GDR Factory track) at Gopher Dunes, I dragged Emily over to Courtland to make sure I was there for it and to commit it to permanent archives with some photos and video. It was
By Billy Rainford I’m not gonna lie, most of the time as I’m typing my Monday Morning Coffee I have a huge bucket of tea in my hand. But this week, I’ve finally made it back to cell service and I’m sitting in a Tim Hortons in Golden, BC taking a look at all my stuff from the weekend…and I have a large COFFEE in my hand. We all made
By Billy Rainford Well, the day has finally arrived. It’s time to load up the #DMXVan and point her west to Round 1 of the 2023 Canadian Triple Crown Series Motocross Nationals. I was hoping to have a new-and-improved vehicle to start this year’s travels out, but it looks like it’l be in the little red van one more time. I don’t even have a problem with that. It’s great
By Billy Rainford Happy May 24th Long Weekend, everyone! I hope the weather wherever you are is perfect and you’re able to get out and do whatever it is you feel like doing today. Likely, if you’re reading this, you’re on your way to or at a track somewhere. My plan for the day is to tag along with Greg Poisson and head over to the Dean Brother’s track in
By Billy Rainford Grab yourself another cup and let’s dive into this Monday Morning Coffee. Emily is still over in Italy until later this week, so that means I’m still at the helm here at the house and trying to help out with a few of the things that Em does here, like house plants and the garden. I don’t have the “greenest” thumb so let’s just say we may

By Billy Rainford Emily and I made it back from Nashville pretty late last night. Because she also had Monday off from work, we were really in no hurry to pack up and leave what is now a top3 city in the United States for us. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I dislike country music but you shouldn’t let your musical preferences stop you from visiting
