Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Wow, I can still barely walk down stairs and I haven’t been on a Sur-Ron electric motorcycle in 2 days! By almost all standards, I cycle a lot, but it’s apparently still not enough to have me ready for the standing and sitting of “racing” a dirt bike. Nothing beats seat time. By now, you’ve probably seen some photos and/or video from the fun we had on

Frid’Eh Update #36 | Anthony Spadaccini | Presented by Troy Lee Designs By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #36 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week brought to you by TLD Moto Canada. We’re in the middle of an off week for Pro racing here in Canada, but that definitely doesn’t mean you can’t find things to do from one side of the country to the other. I’ve got a

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2022

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans.  Remember the folktale we all most likely heard as children, The Tortoise and the Hare?  If for some reason you haven’t read it, there’s no need to even have a library card or go to a bookstore, just punch the title in on Google and…voila!  I had quite the epiphany on how relative and applicable the

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford I got to spend the weekend in Alberta to check out the 8th round of the 2022 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at the Red Bull Outliers. The main race was on Sunday in the Badlands 45 minutes outside of Brooks, but they put on a nice display at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary on Saturday. Saturday acted as a qualifier for Sunday but its main purpose

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning, everyone. I’m going off on a non-moto tangent here and telling my story about a bicycle race I did on Sunday, so just know that going in. After a summer of travel and moto, I did something different this past weekend. My old triathlon buddy, Shawn Reeder, and I entered an 8-hour, 2-person gravel race relay just north of the town of Stratford in

Frid’Eh Update #33 | Jeremy McKie | Presented by KTM Canada By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #33 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week brought to you by KTM Canada. I wish I could say that this past week has been relaxing now that the Canadian Triple Crown Series MX Nationals have come and gone, but I can’t. I’ve got so much…stuff on my hard drive that I have

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Well, we find ourselves heading into the final week of the Canadian Triple Crown Series MX Nationals at Walton Raceway. My dad always said time starts going even quicker the older you get, and I’m finding out that he was absolutely right. Smart people, these older folks. It seems like just yesterday Greg Poisson and I were doing our little FXR Wrap-Up Show in my sister’s back

I finally made it home from Deschambault Thursday evening after spending 3 nights in Cornwall while the #DMXVan got fixed up. The good news is that there was nothing wrong with anything up front.
