Good luck. The word "more" makes me wonder how high you are setting the bar for yourself. And I agree with the comments about thinking of the road bike as an investment toward losing weight. I think road riding makes it easier (more enjoyable equates to easier in my book) to go out for a 2-4 hour ride. I use 500 calories/hour when I think about losing weight.
