Now that I have a better XC understanding, dare I ask for updated road bike recommendations! Probably can only do 1 of the 2 this year, but still like prepping.

I currently ride a hybrid - Dew Plus last couple of years and commute to work just find.

Didn't think I had the need for a road bike, but now get miffed when someone passes me on hills (like Edworthy)...lol...and want something I can at least attempt to "keep up" with. Might also do the Ride for Cancer event in next 2 yrs.

As with XC, I'm not exactly hard core, but something that will last - don't mind paying for quality - again a price range might be $2000-3000 and of course anything less would be welcomed.
(Afterall, after I purchase a road bike and XC bike over next while, I'll be after fat bike recommendations!...lol)
