By Billy Rainford Hello from a sunny and 7C day in London. Emily and I were actually able to get out for a nice cycle yesterday and it looks like we’ll take advantage and head out again today. When I looked ahead at the forecast, my plan was to put the snow tires on Em’s car on one of these nicer December days, but it seems we’re too busy getting
By Billy Rainford Hello and welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee to start the week. Now that the Mini O’s are done, we find ourselves heading straight for the Christmas/Holiday break before we hit the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season in full stride. It looks like we’re going to have a few Canadians either competing in the entire series or doing a few races in 2022. Let’s have a look
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | First Mini O’s Since 2007 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans! Ever met someone that you didn’t know you needed to meet? People say it’s fate, divine timing, destiny, or it’s meant to be. Call it what you will, give it to God, Buddha, the universe, a higher power, or whoever you believe in. Maybe you don’t believe in anyone, but have you ever
By Billy Rainford Man, it feels good to be on the road and sitting in a Starbucks working on Monday Morning Coffee from parts unknown! Actually, I know where I am. I’m in Florence, South Carolina, on my way to see Julien Perrier and his PRMX Partzilla Kawasaki Supercross team in action over at South of the Border.

MTB Trail Review | Hanna Park – Jacksonville Beach, Florida By Billy Rainford So, I thought I’d do something a little different today. I’m going to review a mountain bike trail. I sort took a “me” day today. I went to bed last night and didn’t set my alarm for 5:30am after getting to bed at 1:00am like I did all last week. It was amazing to sleep until I

By Billy Rainford This is my first Monday at home at my office desk in a few weeks. As much fun as it is traveling to races and seeing great action, it always feels good to be home for a while. Of course, it never takes long to get the travel bug again. Fortunately, I won’t have to wait very long until I’m back on the move. We’re heading in
By Billy Rainford So, it’s after 5pm here in Mantova, Italy. This time change is really something. Carl Bastedo, Dylan Wright, and I just got back to the hotel from a late lunch. I sat down at my laptop and looked at the clock. Then I did the math and realized that it was only 11am back in Eastern time, leaving me an hour to put a few thoughts down
By Billy Rainford *technical difficulties at my sister’s place in Kamloops this morning. Afternoon coffee? Welcome to a very rare Monday. Over the weekend we had Shelby Turner become the 5-time Endurocross Champion and Dylan Wright finished higher in an MXGP race than anyone has done in many, many years, taking 9th in Italy. Shelby was in Denver, Colorado, over the weekend and won the Women’s class at the final
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | October By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans. I hope everyone has figured out their Halloween costume and is ready for a self-induced sugar coma. Those candy Mellowcreme pumpkins always do it for me! P.S…Not sure if I can use that in the beginning of my column, but I’m rolling with it! We are 6 days out till my birthday. I hope everyone has their
