By Billy Rainford Good morning from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A city of 564,559 people. The Duke City or Burque is one of just a few large cities I’ll be passing through on my journey home from California. I already went through Phoenix and next I’ll leave New Mexico and head through Amarillo, Texas, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, up through St Louis, Missouri, Indianapolis, Indiana, Toledo, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, and finally home
By Billy Rainford Sorry this is late. I just can’t handle this Pacific time! We just can’t win out here in California this year! Sure, the rain has stopped and I can’t see any clouds in the sky, but now the Santa Ana winds have whipped up and there’s another Severe Weather Warning being sent out to our phones. I remember last year being able to cycle in my much-hated
Monday Morning Coffee | Canadians at A1 With the driving 4000 kilometres in my rearview mirror, it was time to get down to the business I’d made the trip for – the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. People often think I’m crazy for driving this far for races, but when you factor in the time I’m going to be here and what driving the DMX Van allows me the
By Billy Rainford We’ve only got a couple Mondays before we’re lined up at A1 to find out who has done their homework and who is ready to take on this new Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series and try to dethrone Eli Tomac in what has to be his swan song SX season. We say it every year, but this sason could be the best one ever! Lol I think
By Billy Rainford Monday, December 12, 2022. December 12th is the date I’ve said has been the beginning of the “Christmas Feeling” since I was a little kid. The reason? Well, my English grandfather came to Canada for a Christmas visit way back when I was 8 and he got here on December 12th. For that reason, I’ve placed all the pressure of it actually “feeling like Christmas” on the
By Billy Rainford As we head into the dark and cold winter months here in Canada, I wanted to take advantage of a 0C but sunny day yesterday. I wasn’t going to make it to a local track to ride, so I did the next best thing – I prepped myself and my Scott Spark MTB to head out for what was probably my last longer ride of the season.
By Billy Rainford Something a little different this week for Monday Morning Coffee. I’m on my way home from a week at the 2022 Thor Mini O’s Presented by Pro Circuit. I headed over to I-95 so I could drop in on the Partzilla PRMX team and see how everything is going for the upcoming Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. Unfortunately, our 2 Canadian riders (Preston Masciangelo – wrists, and
By Billy Rainford This time next week and we’ll be at the biggest motocross race of the year – the 2022 Thor Mini O’s Presented by Pro Circuit at Gatorback Cycle Park near Gainesville, Florida. This race has always been a big one but it’s taken on a life of its own the past few years. With parking now spreading into the areas even farther off the property, it’s hard
By Billy Rainford Good Monday morning, everyone. It’s time for me to do something I’ve been known to do on many occasions…scour results from an event looking for Canadians. That’s what I’m going to do for the Dubya World Vet Championships that just took place at Glen Helen Raceway out in the 909 of Riverside, California. Here goes: *Not all motos were shown as of this posting #619 Bryce Cook
By Billy Rainford We’ve reached the end of another Canadian Triple Crown Series season. How do you think things went? No, we didn’t have the riders from south of the border on teams like we normally see up here, but that’s just because of the barriers to entry at the border that were still in effect. 2023 should see things get back to normal, right? I’m sure not going to
