Alexis Skarda - Pro Cyclist, National Champion, Music Producer + DJ

Alexis Skarda is a professional cyclist who rides for the Santa Cruz HtSqd and is the US Marathon National Cross-Country Mountain Bike Champion, a Lifetime Grand Prix racer, an emerging electronic music artist and she's a formidable force on the 1s and 2s as a DJ as well as a podium threat at any gravel race she enters.  I love to produce electronic music, I love to DJ and I love to ride bikes, so I'm really excited to share today's episode with you.  As a journalist, I've had the privilege of interviewing and writing about artists like The Crystal Method, Daft Punk and Chris Cornell. And from time to time I got to write about and ride with world class musicians who loved to ride bikes like Tim Commerford, the bass player for Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine.  But I've never written about a high-level pro cyclist who also puts out incredible music. I'm excited to get to do that in this interview.  If you'd like to learn more about Alexis and hear some of her music go to @alexisskarda on Instagram.  Watch on YouTube Sign up for the Hard Way Newsletter - - - - - - - - - -  Choose The Hard Way Website | Instagram Andrew Vontz LinkedIn
