By Billy Rainford That was a busy weekend! I had always planned on heading to the final AMA Pro Motocross Championship round at Ironman MX in Crawfordsville, IN, but when I heard that we’d have our 3 riders from Team Canada MXON racing, there was no question I was going to make the 7-hour drive from London. Unfortunately, we got word that our 250 rider and 2-time defending Canadian Triple
A little late this week with the Monday Morning Coffee. We finally pulled the trigger on getting a new dog this morning. After having to put our black lab “Sadie” down last year and then having our little morkie “Maggie” die a few months ago, we weren’t sure what we were going to do, but then this 4-month-old Aussie Doodle came up for adoption and we just couldn’t resist. “Olive”
By Billy Rainford Wow, what a week! As I sit here at my laptop in my office AT HOME, it’s hard for me to even know where to begin! I’m at that point I always talk about where I’m so glad to be sitting here after such a busy time with the knowledge that I know I’m going to be champing at the bit to head to another event in
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
