By Billy Rainford We’ve only got a couple Mondays before we’re lined up at A1 to find out who has done their homework and who is ready to take on this new Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series and try to dethrone Eli Tomac in what has to be his swan song SX season. We say it every year, but this sason could be the best one ever! Lol I think
By Billy Rainford Monday, December 12, 2022. December 12th is the date I’ve said has been the beginning of the “Christmas Feeling” since I was a little kid. The reason? Well, my English grandfather came to Canada for a Christmas visit way back when I was 8 and he got here on December 12th. For that reason, I’ve placed all the pressure of it actually “feeling like Christmas” on the
By Billy Rainford As we head into the dark and cold winter months here in Canada, I wanted to take advantage of a 0C but sunny day yesterday. I wasn’t going to make it to a local track to ride, so I did the next best thing – I prepped myself and my Scott Spark MTB to head out for what was probably my last longer ride of the season.
By Billy Rainford Something a little different this week for Monday Morning Coffee. I’m on my way home from a week at the 2022 Thor Mini O’s Presented by Pro Circuit. I headed over to I-95 so I could drop in on the Partzilla PRMX team and see how everything is going for the upcoming Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. Unfortunately, our 2 Canadian riders (Preston Masciangelo – wrists, and
By Billy Rainford This time next week and we’ll be at the biggest motocross race of the year – the 2022 Thor Mini O’s Presented by Pro Circuit at Gatorback Cycle Park near Gainesville, Florida. This race has always been a big one but it’s taken on a life of its own the past few years. With parking now spreading into the areas even farther off the property, it’s hard
By Billy Rainford Good Monday morning, everyone. It’s time for me to do something I’ve been known to do on many occasions…scour results from an event looking for Canadians. That’s what I’m going to do for the Dubya World Vet Championships that just took place at Glen Helen Raceway out in the 909 of Riverside, California. Here goes: *Not all motos were shown as of this posting #619 Bryce Cook
By Billy Rainford We’ve reached the end of another Canadian Triple Crown Series season. How do you think things went? No, we didn’t have the riders from south of the border on teams like we normally see up here, but that’s just because of the barriers to entry at the border that were still in effect. 2023 should see things get back to normal, right? I’m sure not going to
By Billy Rainford Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you’re all reading this during a little downtime from visiting with your family and/or other people who are important in your life. Emily and I did the family visits Saturday and Sunday that took us from Waterloo to Burlington and now back home in London in perfect Fall weather. The weather is perfect again today to get out and do some two-wheel
By Billy Rainford Wow, I gained an entire day! I went through all of yesterday thinking it was Monday. I guess because we raced Friday and Saturday this past weekend I went into autopilot and figured it was Saturday and Sunday. I felt guilty about not doing a Monday Morning Coffee column yesterday because I went straight to a race recap article (Read it HERE) and now here I am
By Billy Rainford Well, this Monday Morning Coffee finds me in a Starbucks in Battle Creek, Michigan. It feels appropriate, since this weekend at the 2022 MXON was definitely a battle! Every year, we head into these things with the same thought: “We have the strongest team every assembled this time!” And to be honest, the team usually is great and we’ve got the best riders possible to represent the
