By Billy Rainford Well, this is the first Monday Morning Coffee after being at a local track for the first time of the 2023 season, and it feels great. Winter came back and kicked us in the ass pretty hard here in Southwestern Ontario. “In like a lamb, out like a lion” is what they say about March, and they nailed it this year. I live in London, ON and
By Billy Rainford What a night of racing that was in Detroit on Saturday! There were a few things that happened that are worthy of discussing here while you drink this next cup of coffee: the off night for #58 Jordon Smith, the Yamaha Star Racing teammate battle between Smith and #238 Haiden Deegan in their Heat race, the clear dominance of #96 Hunter Lawrence, the 7-point penalty to #23

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – February By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, What is it called when you believe in someone more than they believe in themselves? Wishful thinking, talking to their potential, living in a false sense of reality, or delusional optimism? Throughout my life, I’ve played my part in both roles. I’ve been the individual with the head full of fear; the one that needed someone
By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee, opinion and yarn spinning column. As I sit here typing, I’m on the eve of another trip down the I-75 to Florida. Of all the intros I write before a road trip, the one that sees me preparing to do this drive is the one I do more often than any other. It’s only twice a year, but as the years
By Billy Rainford Well, so begins my last Monday in Kamloops, BC. I’ll be heading home tomorrow to hopefully get out for some riding. Although, a quick look at the forecast tells me that we’re heading into a few days of cold weather in Southwestern Ontario, so I may not be able to dust off the #739 YZ250 until after another trip down the I-75 to the Daytona Supercross.

Bigwave’s Briefs | 2023 Oakland Supercross – The Canadians By Billy Rainford We finally made it to Oakland, California, on Saturday for what was supposed to be Round 2 of the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series at Ringcentral Stadium.

By Billy Rainford Hello from Kamloops, BC. It’s pretty weird here that there is absolutely no snow and you have to go to the very top of the local mountains to see any snow at all. I could have brought my bike! It was a busy weekend for Canadians racing below the border, so let’s have a look at who did what where. We’ve gone through 5 rounds of 2023
By Billy Rainford A Monday at home…I don’t know what to do with myself! Let’s start this Monday Morning Coffee out with a look at how our two Canadians racing the Houston Supercross did Saturday night. Emily has headed out for some kick boxing with the lady across the street for the first time. I’m sure she’ll be happy to hear that I mentioned that in my first paragraph this
