By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning Coffee from…hold on, let me open Google Maps… Good Monday Morning Coffee from Camden, South Carolina, on I-20 about an hour east of Columbia and about an hour south of Club MX. The plan for today is to stop in there to check in on any Canadians who are still there putting in the work for the upcoming Canadian Triple Crown Series. After a
By Billy Rainford Happy Easter Monday Morning Coffee. It’s a stat holiday in a couple provinces and an optional one in another. I’m in Ontario and it’s not an official holiday here. If you’re off today, enjoy it. We have made the switch to spring here. In fact, we’re going to be 24 C and sunny for the better part of the week! Greg Poisson and I plan to head
By Billy Rainford Grab a cup before we start this week’s Monday Morning Coffee. We’ll wait… Well, I’ll start off by saying there were a few lame April Fools jokes that were tried to be pulled on Saturday and there were a couple that had me going for a split second. I’ve been a little gun shy with the whole idea of trying to string people along on April 1st.
By Billy Rainford Well, this is the first Monday Morning Coffee after being at a local track for the first time of the 2023 season, and it feels great. Winter came back and kicked us in the ass pretty hard here in Southwestern Ontario. “In like a lamb, out like a lion” is what they say about March, and they nailed it this year. I live in London, ON and
By Billy Rainford What a night of racing that was in Detroit on Saturday! There were a few things that happened that are worthy of discussing here while you drink this next cup of coffee: the off night for #58 Jordon Smith, the Yamaha Star Racing teammate battle between Smith and #238 Haiden Deegan in their Heat race, the clear dominance of #96 Hunter Lawrence, the 7-point penalty to #23
By Billy Rainford We’ve got a ton of results to get to, so let’s get to work so I can get out and shovel the driveway… Still happy to be home! We’ll have to back up a bit first, since I haven’t even had time to go over our riders at the RCSX! 2023 RCSX #18 SAMANTHA JANZEN MOOSE JAW, SK Sponsors The Straw Guy 20. Women #18 24th M1: 24th
By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee, opinion and yarn spinning column. As I sit here typing, I’m on the eve of another trip down the I-75 to Florida. Of all the intros I write before a road trip, the one that sees me preparing to do this drive is the one I do more often than any other. It’s only twice a year, but as the years
By Billy Rainford Well, so begins my last Monday in Kamloops, BC. I’ll be heading home tomorrow to hopefully get out for some riding. Although, a quick look at the forecast tells me that we’re heading into a few days of cold weather in Southwestern Ontario, so I may not be able to dust off the #739 YZ250 until after another trip down the I-75 to the Daytona Supercross. This
By Billy Rainford Hello from Kamloops, BC. It’s pretty weird here that there is absolutely no snow and you have to go to the very top of the local mountains to see any snow at all. I could have brought my bike! It was a busy weekend for Canadians racing below the border, so let’s have a look at who did what where. We’ve gone through 5 rounds of 2023
By Billy Rainford A Monday at home…I don’t know what to do with myself! Let’s start this Monday Morning Coffee out with a look at how our two Canadians racing the Houston Supercross did Saturday night. Emily has headed out for some kick boxing with the lady across the street for the first time. I’m sure she’ll be happy to hear that I mentioned that in my first paragraph this
