Hi John, nice introduction, and many welcomes to the forum! There seems to be a rash of what the industry is terming "plush" road bikes coming out. You may just be entering the market @ the right time. You may also want to investigate cyclocross bikes, as they accept a larger volume tire, and are quite versitile.
Good luck with your research - you'll find some great information right here. Just click on the search function above. Post a pic of your new machine when you get it!
