SHRED GIRLS HANGOUTS
Hey Shred Girls—
After two years of having the book series and this site up and running, I've realized that there are a ton of riders and readers who aren't sure exactly how to keep their bike love rolling forward, seeing improvements and having fun in their racing. As I've coached camps and clinics in recent years, I've also realized that I have a huge passion for helping teen girls find their cycling focus, figure out the major blocks that make up a good, strong training foundation, and crush their racing.
That lead to Shred Girls Coaching, one-on-one weekly coaching for girls ready to crush their cycling goals. I'm starting to take on a few coaching clients—and I've already started talking to a couple amazing girls and I am STOKED. Check out the information page and get in touch with any questions!
XO,
Molly (and Lindsay, Ali and Jen!)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
I wrote about legendary racer Katerina Nash (who just won the World Cup in Waterloo) over on Bicycling and I wanted to share her best tip around body image and racing at a healthy weight:
“A lot of racers have been willing to sacrifice health to get that one big result,” she says. “I think that’s what’s helped me stay in the sport for so long and not struggle with injuries. I enjoy the racing so much that I knew I needed to find a good balance to be able to stay in it, enjoy it and stay healthy. Healthy is always better in the long term.”

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.
