congrats on the new bikes!

there's alot of good advice here already. I just wanted to add that a smidge larger tire and a dot less psi can really soften a ride without slowing it down much. If everything seems just a little harsh you could try 28s run at 90-100 psi ... maybe even just in front ... to ease the road vibrations some. It'll still be a quicker and much more responsive ride than your hybrid.

best of luck!
