Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Welcome to your first Monday Coffee of spring! Yes, it has finally ‘sprung’ and we are now only a few months away from all of this snow being completely gone here in Ontario. I kid, I kid. But wait, maybe that’s not too far off the mark if you live out in the Maritimes as they just received what is hopefully one last kick
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford OK, I’ll admit it, unless you live in Hawaii and we’re calling Hawaii Canada, this isn’t a Monday MORNING Coffee. Welcome to your afternoon coffee.

Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday here at Direct Motocross. So much has been going on behind the scenes that it’s been tough to get this column up on a regular basis. From planning our summer to figuring out when we’re leaving to head south to check out Canadians getting ready for summer and racing SX it has kept us hopping around here. Mitch Goheen is
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hola! I’m finally back from my 8-day, all-inclusive, non-moto trip to Cuba. I have never been one of those people who travel like this. Typically, my ‘warm destination’ trips have included a surf board and a back pack. I generally like to head to a place and make an attempt at living like the locals do. I don’t stay in a fancy hotel. I
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning! This is the first Monday of the New Year and things should all be getting back to ‘normal’ around your place – kids struggling to get up in time to be ready for school, parents firing the 3rd cup of hot coffee down their throats to be ready for a day at work, or racers getting ready to load up the
