Monday Gate Drop

  One of my favourite things about travelling is when you end up in a place you’ve been before and just by being there it triggers all sorts of memories and flashbacks. With the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Tour stopping in Edmonton this past weekend, all my past memories from Alberta’s capital came flooding back. Although I’ve had a little ...

As I write this I am on a flight home from Calgary after a great weekend at round three of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals.
