πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ’™ Howard Lions Cycling Club β€” What a Night! πŸ’™πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ

Huge thank you to Howard High School for hosting the very first Freshman Launch Night tonight β€” the turnout was incredible and the energy was unreal. So many future Lions stopped by to learn about the team, the trails, and what it means to ride with pride.

To everyone who came over to chat, ask questions, or just check out what we’re all about β€” we appreciate you. The interest was strong, and we can’t wait to hear from you soon as you start planning your fall activities.

Special shoutout to Roman, Connor, Milo, and Aydin for holding it down and talking with families and rising freshmen all evening. That leadership and enthusiasm is what makes this team special.

The future is looking fast, fun, and full of Lions spirit.

πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ’™ Celebrating Our Senior Charles πŸ’™πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ

Today we honor one of the true pillars of the Howard Lions Cycling Club β€” Charles Mahoney, a founding member, a steady leader, and a rider whose heart has been in this team since day one.

From his early days with the Mountain Lions to helping launch the Howard team his sophomore year, Charles has been a driving force behind our growth. He led not with words, but with dedication, grit, and race‑after‑race consistency that inspired every rider who lined up beside him.

On and off the trails, Charles has shown what it means to commit, to improve, and to lift others up along the way. We couldn’t be more proud of the athlete, teammate, and young man he has become.

Today, as he walks across the stage as a graduate, we celebrate everything he’s built here β€” and everything he’s ready to build next. This fall, Charles heads to James Madison University to pursue a degree in business management, and we know he’ll bring the same drive, leadership, and heart that shaped our team.

Congratulations, Charles and the entire graduating class of 2026!! Once a Lion, always a Lion. πŸ¦πŸ’™

β€œThe trail doesn’t build you β€” it reveals you. Keep climbing, keep growing, and trust the ride.”

Do you have a used bike laying around collecting dust? Why not consider donating it to a great organization that will fix that bike up and find it a great home for the holidays!

Come and have fun! Donate your gently used bikes on Saturday and we'll refurbish them for children in need.
