SHRED GIRLS HANGOUTS
Hey Shred Girls—
Hope everyone has been getting through the heat wave (and hydrating enough on the bike!). I've been riding, hiking, running and even swimming more outside as it heats up, and had a blast watching Canadian MTB Nationals last weekend. It was a super-sweaty, dusty battle between some amazing riders in all of the fields, and it was super cool seeing so many of you out on course racing, spectating, rocking Shred Girls tshirts, and generally showing that yes, girls and women can absolutely CRUSH it on the bike!
You can help get more girls excited about riding by helping boost Shred Girls' rankings on Amazon— leave a Shred Girls review on Amazon! (And yes, you can review even if you didn't buy on there.)
So... How's your summer of riding going? Tag us @shred.girls on Instagram in your adventures or 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
"Going out to the clinics and gate nights held at your track is great to start out. These nights are much more relaxed and it will help you get more comfortable on the track as well as there being a greater amount of people on and at the track." -Canadian BMXer Laura Webber on how to get started and get comfortable in BMX (or cycling).

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.
