Hello from a new Trek Rail rider in the Surrey Hills

[Sirwincealot]

Hey all, I've recently bought a Trek Rail 9.8. Really impressed with it so far and a very different riding experience from my 8 year old Cube 26" hard tail.

Loving the pace at which this thing covers ground. The bike's ability definitely outstrips my skills at the moment so lots of fun learning ahead.

Big shout out to Head for the Hills in Dorking. Despite the lockdown they managed to get the bike in and setup in a few days.

If you see a guy grinning like an idiot and trying not to fall off it's probably me Due to the virus keeping local for the moment so up for ride outs with other folks who also enjoy exploring around the Hurtwood, Winterfold and Peaslake etc.

The rails are in danger of becoming the new Levo, seen loads of them out and about now.
Great bike though?

Welcome, quite a few of us based in the area on here, if you see an idiot with long hair riding who looks like they got carried away with the colour chart when upgrading their Vitus say hello

Thanks for the welcome I was organising demo rides on a few different bikes just before lockdown struck. So I took a chance on just going with the Rail. So far so good and the large size for me (5‘10) feels spot on.
