Scenario:

Years Cycling: 3
Goals: Fitness, pleasure, have not raced but like to "push"
Average Ride: 20 miles
Other Facts: like to participate in 40- 60 mile rides, am going to complete a Century this summer, and possibly participate in a 2 day fundraiser.

I need a new bike and would like some opinions on what to look at: road, hybrid, or touring.

What would you concentrate on, and why?

Thanks!!!
