I’m super excited to share the news that “Shred Girls: Ali’s Rocky Ride,” Book 2 in the Shred Girls series, is available for pre-order now and is out TOMORROW! We’re also hosting a virtual launch party with a reading, Q&A with some inspirational IRL Shred Girls and doing a yoga session. The Shred Girls series is a middle-grade fiction series by Consummate Athlete’s Molly Hurford (me!), published with Random House/Rodale Kids, and follows the adventures of three young girls who discover bikes and navigate the perils of preteen life, learn to shred, and solve the occasional mystery along the way. It’s been a privilege writing these books and hearing from young readers who’ve discovered the joys of riding thanks to the series, and young cyclists who’ve discovered the joys of reading!
About Ali’s Rocky Ride
Come along for a wild ride as the Shred Girls take on mountain biking! Readers are sure to feel like part of the team in this empowering read that features illustrations and training logs!
In the follow-up to LINDSAY’S JOYRIDE, the Shred Girls reunite at Ali’s home for a mountain-biking training trip that builds up to an elite competition! Even though Ali grew up on the mountain biking with her professional-biker older brothers, she’s anxious. Her brothers always make her feel like she’s not talented enough. Could they be right? She’ll just have to find out.
But it’ll be hard to focus on training when Jen, Lindsay, and Lindsay’s awesome older cousin Phoebe come to stay for two weeks. Ali’s never had friends who are girls before, and now they’re jumping into a long-term sleepover! Well, she’s not sure that ultra-feminine Jen is actually her friend . . . yet. Ali’s about to get a crash course on friendship!
With everything going on, Ali’s got a rocky road ahead–but she has the right bike for this ride!
NOTE: Due to COVID-19, Ali’s Rocky Ride will unfortunately only be available as an ebook.
GET IT HERE (and share with a friend!)

Come to the Virtual Launch Party on Tuesday
With the launch of Shred Girls: Ali’s Rocky Ride happening in just a couple of days, I wanted to share the full schedule for the virtual launch party and introduce you to some of the awesome IRL Shred Girls who are jumping online to join the Q&A to talk riding advice, best tips and what they’ve learned on the bike!
Why a virtual launch party? I was super bummed because I wouldn’t be able to have an in real life launch party like we did with Lindsay’s Joyride last May (or even have physical copies of the book) because of COVID19. But I want to make lemons out of lemonade, and I realized that while I can’t have an IRL party, I can have a virtual one that allows me to connect with girls from all over the world.
So, on Tuesday, July 21, the day Ali’s Rocky Ride is released, from 3 to 6PM, I’m going to host a Shred Girls launch party on Zoom, Facebook Live and (partially) on Instagram Live.
Do me a huge favor and if you’re going to drop in for any of the fun, RSVP on Facebook here!
Here’s the full schedule:
Plus we’ll give out some prizes (like these patches) throughout, so make sure you’re tuned in!
I’ll send out the Zoom link to join in the fun tomorrow morning, so make sure that you’re signed up for the Shred Girls newsletter to get the Zoom link, and spread the word!!!
