Need to Know

Trail is bike-only, downhill-only.

Description

Originating from the saddle between the two Maryland Mountain peaks where all of the bike-only downhill trails start, Hard Money is a fast and furious blue-black trail that alternates between smooth rhythm sections with quite tall berms and quick rocky tech features, and throws in some substantial jump options to get some air time.

Dropping almost 1,000 feet in two miles on a bike-only directional trail is sure to get your endorphins rushing and your face grinning. There are several easter eggs along the way so keep an eye out for the black level b-lines.

The only black diamond flow trail around with berms you can actually rip, and some proper gap jumps.

Hard Money was closed for trail construction on Sunday July 24th, not sure when it will open.

Built to modern 'standards' but lots of sketchy corners, toothy rocks, and small gaps. A great park substitute. Two laps are reasonable.
