Entire Hard Money MTB Trail at Maryland Mountain. This is my first time riding Hard Money this year and I'm stoked on my progress. I remember needing to get off the bike multiple times last year to scout features and now I'm riding them blind without any hesitation.
This trail's main features are 1) Jumps littered EVERYWHERE 2) Blue-Black level Rock Gardens and 3) Steep optional chutes at the end. It's probably one of my new favorite trails in Colorado, but it's a bit far so I can't make it out all the time.
This trail was a great benchmark for my progress as a mountain biker. Last year, I remember having to stop at every gap jump to check it out before I could even attempt them. This time around, I wasn't afraid to try any of them blind and I even cleared most of them! I'm super stoked about that improvement.
Another cool thing about this video is that I get to ride some new features here at Hard Money that I completely missed on my last visit. They're mainly steep rock slabs and kind of rolly features.
Let me know in the comments if you've ridden Hard Money and what you think about it!
