Monday Morning Coffee Opinion Column by Bigwave about Motocross and other interesting topics

By Billy Rainford

As soon as we left Walton Raceway last week it seems like the weather thought it was autumn in these parts! We’ve been struggling to get above 25C and it’s been raining so much it feels like April right now.

I will say this, though, I had no interest in riding the Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke in 32C and humidity, so this change will make it perfect for getting out to Gopher Dunes to ride the trails, the main sand track, and the GP track out front. If it will just. stop. raining…

I’ve got some sweet new FXR gear to try, so I’m ready to load the bike onto the back of the DMX/Dirt Care van and head to the track. But, seriously, it needs to stop raining.

Yesterday was the annual London Air Show at the London Airport. I’ve been heading out for a MTB loop of Fanshawe Lake every year on this day, but the on and off torrential rain made it seem like it wasn’t going to happen this year.

I waited…and waited…for a weather window that was starting to look less and less like it was going to happen. And then, at around 3pm, both the iPhone weather app and The Weather Channel app said it was going to be clear for the next 3 hours, so I went for it.

The trails at Fanshawe can take a lot of rain, as they are hard-packed and most of the water will just run off, so I thought I’d see what they were like.

To my happiness and surprise, all the rain during the day hadn’t left them in a muddy mess. They were actually almost perfect!

Normally, there are cars lined up along the side of the road and path into the park, but this year I didn’t see a single one…or hear a single plane.

I headed into the trail system and just planned on riding in silence when all of a sudden an F22 (so I’m told) blasted past me and went about it’s air show business. I guess they had been waiting for this same clearing to hit the sky and went for it like I did.

I pulled to the side of the trail and recorded a few seconds of this display and watched as plane after plane took off and did its thing.

I’m sure they were telling them to get up there before people all wanted their money back!

It’s also the time of year for me to enter a few MTB races in the area, so I needed to get out and make sure I”m in some semblance of racing shape. I did the Boler Mountain Thursday Night Race Series last week and learned I hadn’t spent nearly enough time doing hills, and went slower than I have in the past couple years. I wasn’t happy about this development at all and will be sure to have it remedied before I line up for another one of these in 2 weeks.

Next up is the final round of AMA Pro Motocross at Ironman MX near Indianapolis, IN. I try to get to an AMA event every year when it doesn’t conflict with our series. Oftentimes, the series is already locked up by the time the last round rolls around, but this year we’ve got some excitement.

Here’s a look at the points:

We had 🇨🇦 #613 Cole Pranger and 🇨🇦 #247 Tegan Kortenbach at Budds Creek. Unfortunately, neither of them made it straight into the motos from qualifying and then the rain forced them to cancel the Consolation race, so they didn’t get the chance to get in through that either.

Harri Kullas Raced First Half Ironman Triathlon

I have no idea what he’s saying here, but check out Harri in a swim cap:

The thing I was most excited about this past weekend was our 2nd place 450 finisher in the Canadian Triple Crown Series, Harri Kullas, racing his first-ever Half Ironman in Tallinn, Estonia.

I joked with him leading up to the race that I was probably more excited about it than he was…and he agreed. Lol

Here’s a look at how he did:

Swim: 34:58
Bike: 2:46:40
Run: 1:40:13

Total: 5:10:53

https://rtrt.me/ulink/IRMA/IRM-TALLINN703-2026/tracker/RWEY8SPA/focus

The weather was pretty miserable so it probably wasn’t the most fun out there. Maybe I’ll grab Harri for a podcast to talk about it a little later in the week.

We should have more 🇨🇦 to cheer for next weekend at Ironman.

I’ll leave you with this irritating little thought: Don’t you hate that time between ordering your coffee/food at a Tim Hortons drive through and the cashier? I spend my time trying to keep your phone from shutting off when I’ve got the app open for the deals. Life’s tough.

We’re on our way up to Manitoulin Island for a couple days holiday and the trip started with a drive through, so I thought I’d put that little worm in your head.

I hope that got you through another cup on this Monday morning. Have a great week, everyone.

I guess we’ll let Haiden Deegan say it from 2023 Ironman MX: “See you at the races…” | Bigwave photo
