Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Good morning from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A city of 564,559 people. The Duke City or Burque is one of just a few large cities I’ll be passing through on my journey home from California. I already went through Phoenix and next I’ll leave New Mexico and head through Amarillo, Texas, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, up through St Louis, Missouri, Indianapolis, Indiana, Toledo, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, and finally home

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Sorry this is late. I just can’t handle this Pacific time! We just can’t win out here in California this year! Sure, the rain has stopped and I can’t see any clouds in the sky, but now the Santa Ana winds have whipped up and there’s another Severe Weather Warning being sent out to our phones. I remember last year being able to cycle in my much-hated

Monday Morning Coffee | Canadians at A1

Monday Morning Coffee | Canadians at A1 With the driving 4000 kilometres in my rearview mirror, it was time to get down to the business I’d made the trip for – the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. People often think I’m crazy for driving this far for races, but when you factor in the time I’m going to be here and what driving the DMX Van allows me the

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | December 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans. As some of you know, I wait all year for this moment; drum roll please…Happy Festivus!!!  As we embark on a new year and close out an existing one everyone always talks about reflection.  For me, this year held many ups, more downs, a lot of challenges, and triumphs.  Through it all, I’ve had yet another

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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.

Monday Morning Coffee
