What Goals Have You Set for Your Riding?
SHRED GIRLS HANGOUTS
Hey Shred Girls—
It's been a busy few weeks for a lot of you—I know there are a ton of NICA athletes and coaches who follow along with Shred Girls, and I know it's the middle of race season for you, with championships coming up. And for mountain bikers and road cyclists, we're right in the middle of racing season. So I know you're busy! Hopefully you're staying happy, recovering enough after races, staying hydrated as the days get hotter, and smiling when you're riding (at least some of the time!).
To celebrate the launch of Shred Girls: Lindsay’s Joyride, I hopped on The Consummate Athlete Podcast to put together a podcast that featured five past Shred Girl guests talking about a wide variety of topics that are super important for female cyclists. This episode of The Consummate Athlete shares top advice from top female athletes, and I think you’re going to love it!
OK, let's talk about a couple of new things. As usual, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being rad Shred Girls, Shred Girl supporters and bike lovers. Tag us @shred.girls on Instagram if you snag a copy of the book, and we'll see you on the trails!
XO,
Molly (and Lindsay, Ali and Jen!)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
A good goal-setting quote is hard to beat, and this one from Carys Reid is a favorite that I come back to often: “As motivation, something that always stuck with me is to “show up with a purpose”. You won’t get anywhere in this sport or life if you don’t show up—to school, to training, to a race. That’s the first step, show up. The second step is to have purpose." She—and many other top level pros I interviewed in the goal-setting article—is a fan of writing down your goals and keeping them somewhere prominent so you can stay in touch with them!

ABOUT SHRED GIRLS: Lindsay's Joyride
An empowering new series from the cyclist who runs Shred-Girls.com is guaranteed to give readers an adrenaline rush--and the confidence girls gain from participating in sports. It's time to ride and save the day!
Lindsay can't wait to spend her summer break reading comics and watching superhero movies--until she finds out she'll be moving in with her weird older cousin Phoebe instead. And Phoebe has big plans for Lindsay: a BMX class at her bike park with cool-girl Jen and perfectionist Ali. Lindsay's summer of learning awesome BMX tricks with new friends and a new bike turns out to be more epic than any comic book--and it's all leading up to a jumping competition. But some of the biker boys don't think girls should be allowed to compete in BMX. Now it's up to Lindsay, Jen, and Ali to win the competition and prove that anyone can be great at BMX.
