Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford OK, so, I’m having a tough time adjusting to this BC time zone. It’s easy to fall into a pattern and I’m not getting my routine sorted out being 3 hours behind my usual time in the Eastern Zone. Having said that, I’m sorry about my tardiness with this MMC column. I always seem to end up staying up late like I would back at home and

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Good morning from Pendelton, Oregon. I didn’t even know my route from Salt Lake City, UT to Kamloops, BC was going to take me through Oregon, but here I am. I managed to take a few minutes out of the drive and go for a MTB ride in Boise, Idaho, late yesterday. I spent most of the day driving through a blinding snowstorm through the mountains, so

Frid’Eh Update #18 | Parker Eales | Presented by KTM Canada By Billy Rainford Welcome to the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by KTM Canada. This week, I’m in Salt Lake City for the final round of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series at Rice-Eccles Stadium on the beautiful campus of the University of Utah. Go Utes! “Did you say, Utes?” (Google it, Bowker!) Parker Eales from Maple

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford As another Monday rolls around my life is about to get flipped-turned upside down, to quote the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But I”m not sure we’re allowed to do that these days… On Tuesday I’ll start making my way to Salt Lake City for the final round of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. I actually lived in SLC for about 7 months back in

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – April 2022

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – April 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans.  About 10 years ago I used to attend a Bikram Yoga studio quite frequently. The lady who owned the studio, Helena, is an incredible person – a heart of gold and a kind soul.  Her father, Sonny, taught classes at the studio as well.  I loved taking his classes and appreciated the wisdom and comic relief

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Having not been at a Supercross the past couple weekends, I didn’t really have a lot of content for my past two Monday Morning Coffee columns. However, I don’t even know where to start this week! I think it’s pretty safe to say that the past 3 days contained more moto content than any I’ve had in the past…many, many years. Let me clarify. Sure, I was

Bigwave’s Briefs | 2022 Atlanta Supercross

Bigwave’s Briefs | 2022 Atlanta Supercross By Billy Rainford Round 14 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series was held at Atlanta Motor Speedway this past Saturday afternoon. I’m going to try something a little different to get thoughts up in a concise way following events in something I’m going to call “Bigwave’s Briefs.” If anyone can come up with a funny graphic for this column it would be

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. It looks like the only decent opportunity to get out and ride was Sunday and I missed it. The sun was out around here but it was definitely not warm. It looks like spring will arrive later this week and then we should get things rolling here where I am in southwestern Ontario. Don’t forget, the groundhog told us spring

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Man, it feels weird to be home two weekends in a row! I really don’t even know what to do with myself on these “rest” days. It’s important to have a healthy work/life balance (as the kids would say). However, for me, the balance part is a little grey. I love my work! Going to the races and seeing all of you isn’t something I need a
