I'm driving myself crazy! I think I really want a road bike. I currently ride a comfort bike, it weighs a ton and I feel like Mary Poppins I have been averaging about 15 miles per ride. I started riding with a local club on their social rides. I want to move up to their more challenging rides. Their C rides are 11-13 mph, 20-30 miles. Who knows maybe a century some day..

Whats holding me back I quess is my LBS keeps directing me towards more of a hybrid style bike, they think it's gonna be too much of a transition from what I'm riding to a road bike.

My neighbor who rides alot thinks I should look at cyclocross bikes.

What kind of bike should I look at for the kind of riding I want to do?

I do have the biking bug, I can see myself really getting into it. It's a total stress reducer. Even my husband who doesn't ride, will tell me to go our for a ride when I'm being crabby

Thanks for your help..
