Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee. Hey, when does daylight savings time end anyway? I have to admit that I took a little bit of time away from moto this past week. It’s been a long season with a ton of great racing and things I was able to attend and report on. It’s rare that I take more than a day away, but I literally did

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford OK, I have to admit it, I completely wimped out this passed weekend. I went into it planning to head to Gopher Dunes Friday for Supercross practice, head back again on Saturday for the races, go home for a few hours, and then head to catch the final day of the Corduroy Enduro up in Gooderham, ON. Gooderham is up northeast of Toronto, north of Peterborough, east

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Next time I say I’m going to drive 12 hours to a race and then turn around and come straight home afterward, punch me in the face, please. I hopped into the DMX Van again this past weekend and drove all the way to Z Max Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte for round 1 of the inaugural Supermotocross Playoffs.

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2023 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, A significant playwright, essayist, and screenwriter of the 20th Century, Arthur Miller once said, “The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.” He was correct!  As we know, my column last month was quite turbulent and most likely one of the most vulnerable pieces I’ve

Monday Morning Coffee | Canadians at Ironman MX

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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”

Monday Morning Coffee

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
