Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for another exciting school or work week. Ya, whatever. Around these parts (Southwestern Ontario) the weather looked pretty bleak as we headed into the weekend, but it didn’t really get that bad. In fact, Gopher Dunes held its 6th Annual Sandstorm event and they got pretty lucky, all things considered. It was their first-ever
Monday Morning Coffee – Maggiora Edition | Shot Race Gear/Two Wheel Motorsports By Billy Rainford Wow, where do I even start after a weekend like that?! The beginning? No, not here. I’ll save that for a much more in depth photo report when I get home. For starters, thank you very much to Kourtney Lloyd and the entire group that made up the 2016 edition of Team Canada Motocross of
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford What time is it? Heck, what DAY is it?! This Monday Morning Coffee is coming to you from one of the nicest places in the world – Cinque Terra, Italy. No, if I’m being honest, I’d never really heard of it either, but take my word for it, it’s amazing. More exactly, we’re staying in a small seaside village called Portvenere. You have to
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend. There aren’t too many left in the season when you’ll be heading to the tracks in short sleeves, so enjoy them while you can! Although the leaves are slowly deciding to fall to the ground, there is still tons of racing to pay attention to. Here’s what went on this past weekend. Team Canada MXON
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Just when you think you’re going to take a week off and maybe hit the beach or get some work done around the house…BAM! Jeff McConkey just pulled a double-header and way upped his moto street cred. He and Melissa made the drive from east of Toronto to Ironman MX just west of Indianapolis, Indiana, in Crawfordsville. That’s a long drive. Ironman MX We
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford First off, let me thank these three sponsors for supporting our 2016 Parts Canada Walton TransCan content: We haven’t had time to get to our Saturday finals stuff yet, so as soon as you get finished this cup of coffee we’ll get to work on our ‘Championship Saturday’ photo report. Were you at Walton this year? Wow, what a week. How about that humidity?!
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford You know this Monday Morning Coffee has to start with an emotional farewell to the 2016 Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals. Yes, it’s hard to believe we’ve gone through all ten rounds again, already. I remember just a few hours ago (not really) when we were all wondering if Davi Millsaps would have what it takes to finish a 10-round outdoor season, let alone
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning. It’s Monday, right? Is it morning? What happened? These are all valid questions after spending a hot day in the sun at the motocross races and then hopping straight into the van at 8pm to start driving 9 hours west from Deschambault, Quebec, to DMX HQ in London, Ontario. Fortunately, I didn’t have to do all the driving this time! It
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hello and welcome to another Maritimes edition of the Monday Morning Coffee. I’m currently sitting in the Travelodge in Moncton at the Magnetic Hill exit, which just happens to be Exit 450. Seems about right. You’re familiar with what Magnetic Hill is, right? I think it’s a Latin term for ‘Biggest Tourist Trap in Canada!’ Seriously, have you been? I have…3 times. OK, so
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning from the beautiful Maritimes. There’s an overwhelming sense of happiness out here. I remember talking to some racers from the United States in Quebec who were happy to be racing in Canada because “everyone is so nice” and telling them to just wait until they get out east!
