New Website, BLOG and fundraiser for my Rally Racing pipe dream

Hey guys, not sure if this is an appropriate forum, but I'm launching a new site for my moto-related endeavors, that I'd love to get your feedback on.

www.riderx.ca will be a home for my blog (still coming, last item on the list ironically), a moto-inspired tee-shirt line (for fund raising) and a place to provide exposure to my racing sponsors.

While the need for a site was percolating for some time, the clothing line was born out of COVID-19 isolation cabin fever we're all experiencing these days. Everywhere you turn the 'experts' are telling us to use this time to 'better ourselves' by learning a new skill and take time to 'focus on what's important'... I tried, but failed miserably at using Duolingo to learn French and got tired of 'focusing' on the inside of a Tequila bottle, day-drinking while trying to home-school my six year old. To keep sane, I decided to finish the site and try my hand at creating tees that I'd personally like to wear.

Through this process I had to re-learn Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as figure out Wordpress and Woo Commerce (online and e-commerce platforms) - I think these qualify as learning new skill, right?

Anyway, please visit the site and let me know what you think.

Can we go riding yet????

Straight outta Ganaraska! HA! Great start, really clean design. I look forward to following your blog when it drops. Cheers

Thank you. A few ideas already on the bench on how to represent some of the other favorite riding spots in Ontario as well! I thought fundraising with t-shirt sales was more appropriate than just asking for hand-outs to help my broke-ass go racing.

Hey everyone, so I'm starting to pen a few blog pieces - which is really therapeutic during this time. Please take a look at my latest and let me know what you think:

Great read. Keep it coming.

Nice write-up. Pretty cool to say you have spent some time at a Dakar bivouac!

Thank you!

It was surreal, but at the same time surprisingly casual. So bummed they are in Saudi now, which is a bit far and more complicated to repeat for a while...

Hey guys, new post with a brief video on what to expect from SCORRA Midhurst tract:

Hey guys, check out the new video on the site - a lap around Goper Dunes XC course. The race didn't go as planned for me, but still got decent first lap footage. If you are thinking of entering a race, check this out to see if you's be up for the experience! (I highly recommend it and don't worry, most races are not this sloppy).

As always, feedback welcome!

Great video, thanks for showcasing that side of riding.

Good job on the video. Keep em coming. Heads up, the next finish will taste even better!

Thanks guys! Bike is fixed... found the culprit to the bike shutting off... I must have punctured main wiring harness at an enduro race last summer - there were lots, and lots of log obstacles, and not every one went smooth and the right rad got crushed into the frame pretty bad. I think it was then that the harness got pinched but took until this season to finally wear through and start shorting out. had to replace over a foot of dead wire from the persistent shorting... Now all good to go!

Hey guys, hope all is well with all!

New video is up and features a family trip to Trail Tours. If you are considering getting your kids to try dirt biking or even thinking of taking your spouse for an 'out of the box' date, I highly recommend!

Best, Dee!

New Post/Video Alert!

Hey guys, I've seen a few threads/questions about the Seguin and most people that take it run the Park to Park trail straight between 69 and Huntsville (maybe shooting North on Nippising Road, which is more fun, but still a bigger-bike ride), completely overlooking the awesome trails West of 69, Parry Sound an into Killbear... Check out my video of doing the 'West of 69' parts of the Seguin trail system:

Good luck!

(If you need any help installing these or getting a set of tires done for the winter let me know, I'll be happy to walk you though the pros and cons of different brands and types of studs or full tire buying options in the GTA as there are lots of way to skin this winter riding cat... )
