Hi ladies! This is my first post, but I have been reading here. I had a 10 year old Trek Navigator that I rode the last 10 years. This year I walked into a bike shop, decided to upgrade, and now I have a Cannondale Quick. I love it. I have decided that I want to REALLY ride.

In the past my rides were 20-25 miles. Most for fitness. After I got my new bike, I decided to ride further. We went ut of town and took our bikes and I rode 44 in one day, 35 the next. When we got home, we went to a local trail and went 48 miles. Last weekend we went back and I went 55 miles. Truthfully, I phoned in the last 5 miles. They were brutal!

Now I have decided that next year I want to ride in a Century ride. Do most people have road bikes for this type of riding? Mine isn't exactly a mountain bike, but it isn't a road bike either. I'm not sure what I would call it. It isn't a hybrid either. I'm confused!

So, I love my Cannondale and will keep it for the trail riding I have been doing. Do I need to look into buying a road bike or will my bike work for me? Thanks!
