Speaking of, the website has been revamped. Be sure to take a look at the Equipment header and Info headers - it's time to get your toolkits finalized
We need more pictures for our galleries. Athletes, parents, coaches make an effort to snap pics at practice, races, and social events. When you get a good one, please use the submit links at the bottom of the gallery. Currently, it is very Williams-heavy…

Travis Country Jingle Bell Ride is December 21. Mark your attendance and plan to be there. This is a huge outreach event for the team. AHS coaches and senior athletes will be responsible for helping guide small PODS of upwards of 200 residents on established routes through the neighborhood. This is a fun event and goes a long way to ingratiating us with the neighbors we ride around every week. Furthermore, it's a NICA Team Trail Corps event and it's 4.5 hours long. Thus, if we get just half of our coaches and riders to assist, that's > 100 hours AHS will log towards TTC in one fun night! Finally, you can win prizes and your family is invited if you volunteer!
To quote the 90's rap visionary, Ice Cube: "You better SHEG yo' self, before you wreck yo' self"
This month, we’re spotlighting ‘T’ - Tools.
Every rider is expected to carry repair tools with them on every ride. Review our updated Accessories page for tool kit components.
We had 29 riders drop into the Greenbelt for some Halloween-themed history. For some, it was just another Maroons Greenbelt ride but for many riders, it was the first time to see their playground for the rest of the season. This was a big group and everyone did great. Looking forward to a lot more rides like this between now and May 2025!
All weekday practices require lights. Please be sure to send your riders with proper lights to every ride until the Daylight Savings time switch in the Spring.

A new secure site is up for coaches only. It includes practice maps, PODS information, documents, training resources, forms, etc. Access it from the Coaches menu on the site.

This new site is also where we will post race callups and other coach information we receive from NICA National and NICA Texas. Please familiarize yourself with this AHS coach resource. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.
