I have the 7000 model purchased from my LBS in late-March of this year. 2 wks ago I bought a road bike. That bike was fine but I quickly realized that I wanted to ride longer and faster than what the hybrid comfortably allowed. I do know folks who do long, even century, rides on hybrids but anything more then 24 miles was a drag (literally) and not very fun anymore.
I suggest riding it as much as you can for the 30 days and then making up your mind. It took me a little bit to realized that I enjoyed riding and wanted to go for longer distances. I hadn't ridden in 10+ yrs before I started this spring.

HTH,
