This December, read along and then join author Molly Hurford and special guests including two-time World Champion racer Kate Courtney of She Sends for a Zoom session in late December to talk all about the book and what winning really means to you—and to the Shred Girls!
For this first book club, we’re reading Shred Girls: Jen’s Bumpy Ride. In the third Shred Girls adventure, Jen’s Bumpy Ride, ultra-perfectionist Jen has to make a big decision: Should she stick with the Shred Girls, or join the local cycling team that promises to make her faster, and help her to become a pro cyclist? The local cycling team is fast, but they’re not nearly as nice as Ali and Lindsay. Still, if Jen wants to make her pro racing dreams come true, this team is the best way to do it. She’ll have to decide soon, since the clock is ticking down to the next race…
But first, the Shred Girls crew of Jen, Ali and Lindsay along with their coach Phoebe will need to make it through their first ever bikepacking trip, riding big miles and camping in the mountains. Can their friendship survive the ups and downs that come with campouts, no showers, tired legs and a storm brewing in the distance? Bikepacking—combining camping with cycling and bringing all of your camping equipment along by bike—may not be as speedy as racing, but it can be a lot harder, especially for someone like Jen who has a serious need for speed. But the camping lifestyle will force Jen to come to terms with what she really wants: Friendships that stand the test of time and distance, and maybe even a new way at looking at her goals in sport. Winning might not be everything, after all (though it’s still pretty darn fun!).
After we read the book, we‘ll be talking about the plot, but more importantly, we’ll be talking about what winning looks like for us, what being on a team really means, and how to find our own way in sport.
Join the club + get the book plus a book club guide and journal prompts, stickers, and the chance to Zoom with Kate Courtney and learn how she thinks about redefining success and winning.
