By Billy Rainford Hey, we’re back for another Monday Morning Coffee! We just had a weekend off from racing in the Canadian Triple Crown Series, but that didn’t mean things weren’t happening.

Shawn Maffenbeier and Robin Hutchinson had their wedding right here in my hometown on
Faces at the Races | MX Deschambault By Billy Rainford Straight from the “Better Late than Never” file, it’s Faces at the Races from the ECAN and the two rounds of Canadian Triple Crown Series MX Nationals at Motocross Deschambault. Let’s get right to it before the TransCan starts and we’re even further behind!
By Billy Rainford Like the title says, It’s Go Time here in Canada! As you read this, riders and families have been descending on the province of Ontario for the biggest race we have here in Canada – The TransCan at Walton Raceway.

By Billy Rainford Welcome to the Monday Morning Coffee the day after some of the most amazing racing we’ve ever seen here in Canada. No joke, that was a crazy day of motos at Gopher Dunes. Both classes gave us performances and racing action we’ll be referring to for years to come. Jetwerx decided not to groom the track or prep it the way they normally would for a Canadian
By Billy Rainford Hello and welcome to the week before the Canadian Triple Crown Series starts. Yes, we’ve finally made it to the week we’ve all been waiting for. When I’m, hopefully, sitting at my desk again next Monday I’ll be writing about what we learned at the first couple rounds of the MX Nationals at Walton Raceway. Yes, I’m still lying on my back on the floor typing with
By Billy Rainford Another Monday rears its ugly head. That was a weekend that actually felt like things were back to normal! I managed to get out to a race and almost made it 2 races in 2 days, but I didn’t. My plan was to hit the Mini Bike Triple Crown at Shady Oaks MX in Brigden, Ontario, and then hop back in the van and head to Sand
By Billy Rainford I know I don’t have to tell you how great it felt to be back at the races, but it sort of falls into my job description, so I’m going to anyway. DMX World HQ is in London, Ontario.
