Volunteer Expectations

As a non-profit 501(c)3 entity, we are dedicated to our mission of building lifelong cyclists through Safety, Respect, Hard Work, and Fun.

As a volunteer organization, we rely on the help of the parents of our athletes. As such, we will expect that all families contribute of their time. We have many volunteer opportunities on race weekends, the most important of which is handling the meals for your athletes. Please review these opportunities and let our team director know how you'll be contributing this season to help make another incredible year.

Coaches' Corner

The big news for coaches? Pearl Snaps!

That's right, we worked with our supplier and we're getting pearl snaps on the mechanic shirts. Prepare yourselves to be the envy of an entire state. You may want to buy 2 shirts, one for riding and one for date night.

We're also getting a grip of matching white buttons for those that suffered through the Great Button Kerfluffle of 2024-25. How to sew on a button 🔘

Coach the Coach rides:

Coaches – you're running out of time, only a few appointments left. Get tuned up for the season!

Crank and Drank (Cnd) rides:

We want all coaches, but particularly POD leaders, attending CnD group rides. Once you've ridden 3-4 times they will allow you on their listserv. The listserv is where you will get the GPX files we'll be riding most Saturdays. There are 6-7 different groups of varying ability, from race pace to social and everything in between. Do it Meow!

TMBRA

TMBRA is the oldest race series in the state. There are still a few fall races to attend. Get out there and race.

The state championship is coming up in Kerrville.
The kickoff of the Marathon series at Palo Duro Canyon is November 15th. First place prize? $1,800! Go get paid!

Check out our Maroons racers from this past weekend's TMBRA race!

TORS

The Texas Off-Road Race Series is a new series to Texas

NICA coaches and student-athletes receive a 25% discount on race registration.
Student-athletes who participate in 3 or more TORS races, will have their registration fees donated back to their NICA team!

There are 2 races in the Austin area, one at Warda and one just past the Austin Airport in Dale at the Rally Ready race track.

ALL races and race series we mention that are not specifically on the NICA calendar are not supported by the team and are strictly for information. You can expect no support, no coaching, and un-sanitized courses. I.E. - these are likely to be more difficult and have dangerous features that are not usually seen on a NICA course. TORS and TMBRA are non-NICA events and fall squarely within these caveats. That said, racing is fun 😜
