Keeping Young Girls On Bikes With Molly Hurford

Did you know that between the ages of 8 and 11, girls drop out of cycling (and sports in general) at an alarming rate? To help combat this, Molly Hurford created Shred Girls.Shred Girls is a series of chapter books aimed at older elementary age girls with stories around, you guessed it, cycling. They are engaging, fun, and successful at keeping girls engaged in cycling at a critical age.When I first discovered Shred Girls, I knew I needed to get Molly Hurford, the author and creator of the books on the podcast. Molly is also the host of the Consummate Athlete podcast, and many other non-fiction cycling books.In this episode, we chat about Molly's books, the state of youth cycling today, saddle sores, training on limited time, and much more. Connect With MollyConsummateAthlete.comInstagram: @mollyjhurfordInstagram: @consummateathletehttps://shred-girls.com/Connect With Femme CyclistIG: @femme_cyclistFB Group: Femme Cyclist CommunityIG: @kristenlbonkoskiMusic Credit: https://josephmcdade.com/musicSupport the show👉Instagram: @femme_cyclist👉Website: https://femmecyclist.com
