By Billy Rainford Happy Monday Morning from soggy Southwestern Ontario. The rain has settled in here nicely over the past couple days with no end in sight! Of course, that’s not true. We will get to the end of this weather pattern at some point, but, man, there’s been a lot of rain in these parts. In fact, they had to cancel second motos at Gopher Dunes for the AMO
By Billy Rainford I’m running a little bit behind this morning. Gopher Dunes opened up their back track on Frank Schuster‘s property and AMO Reloaded held an Ontario Provincial race over the weekend. Saturday was a practice day, so Greg Poisson and I loaded up his truck and headed over to check it out. We got there a little late but suited up and got ready for a session on
By Billy Rainford Another Monday rears its ugly head. If you’re from the same area as DMX World HQ in Southwestern Ontario, we’re entering the best time of year to ride. Gone are the gross, humid days of July and August. I actually enjoy that for cycling, but it doesn’t motivate me to try out new gear at the track when it gets that hot. I know, I’m a fair-weather

Faces at the Races | Canadian SX Rounds 1 and 2 | Race Tech Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford It’s time for a sarcastic and sometimes even informative ‘Face at the Races‘ column from rounds 1 and 2 of the Canadian Triple Crown Series SX at Gopher Dunes. [WARNING: I probably should have eaten before doing this column. I think my blood sugar must have been low…or high. Which
By Billy Rainford As I sit here this Monday Morning waiting to do a podcast with Lee Fryberger from Team Canada ISDE, James Lissimore and I have the new Bob Ross documentary from Netflix on in the background. If you’re old like me, I’m sure you’ll remember watching The Joy of Painting on PBS back in the 1980’s when there was nothing else on. As I look back now, I
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. In fact, there were a couple things going on that sort of took me by surprise, so let’s fill that cup and dive in. 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.
