Dale's Trail - Saw it on a Seymour map, anyone ever ride it? Details anyone? Where it ends it looks like you could hook up C-buster or severed, or even boogie or pangor.

dales trail is a very fun trail.. not often ridden
i wont tell you whats on it youll have to go see for yourself!! its alot of fun. there are built structures and steeps. at the end of the trail you can hike back up the power lines. or if you just do upper dales you can take that hiking path that takes you directly to c-buster(about a 10 minute xc ride) if you were to take lower dales as well its about a 20-25 minute hike back up the power lines to get to c-buster
definately check dales out.. its really fun.

Dale's.

Nice, mostly "old school" technical. One of my favourites. Drops you on the powerline with a big push back up to Severed or C-buster. Not much traffic, cause most people are scared of the climb.

Me, I think it's great that the climbaphobic stay away from this trail.

A couple of weeks ago I headed out to the Shore alone, and was hoping to hook up with someone to share shuttling duties. I found these two guys that took me down Dale's (in fact, one was named MIke...is that you, Mike?). I have to say...lot's of fun, very old school, a couple of decent stunts. The hike up to C-Buster sucks, but it's worth it.

Good times. Nice change from the norm, too.:cool:

Definately check it out :)

Has anyone done something with the tree that fell over the trail about 1/2 way down, that you have/had to hike-a-bike over?

I rode dales->cbuster for my first time last week. good stuff!

there is a nice logride->bridge huck that drops you from about 4-5 feet up to a pretty nice tranny.

its all natural, flowy, and not very ridden. the hike back up is a bit much if the temperature climbs up there - the bugs come out in full force! but the reward is you get to ride down cbuster or severed after the climb up!

i say go for it...i loved it!

I realise that this is useless post in it self, but it must be said. Can you please stop posting useless thing, at least pretend to know. I find it very annoying, so just stop or don't post at all.

at least blah says SOMETHING, all that guy ever says is "i dont know" "i've never (insert topic)" "i dont have (insert topic)"

about dales trail, it's a technical trail, and some very steep sections, old school trail. There's really nothing too special about it, there are better trails, but if u are sick of the other trails, then i guess it doesnt hurt to try it.

I rode Dale's today. Judging from the needles on the trail hardly no one rides this at all.

There are some great stunts, one being a cool teeter about 1/2 way down.

The log which fell a loooong time ago has had work done to it making for some fun stuff.

Some steeps which are neat as well. Nice to ride this part of the mountain as on weekends the East portions of Seymour can be very busy. We saw absolutely no one on Dale's / C Buster.
