Howdy all! Glad to be with everybody on this forum. It looks like you have just about everything covered here.

Started biking March of this year on a Trek 7.1 hybrid. Max mileage has been been 55. Finally figured out if I want to do much more than that I need to get on a better bike. Looking at a few different Specialized models (Roubiax Compact, Elite Compact).

Some day I want to be able to do a century. (At 52 years old, the sooner the better :))

Welcome Ely to Bike Forums.
Took me 5 months for a century.
Started road riding at age 65.
Ride slow.

Hi Ely, and welcome to Bike Forums! We have a hybrid section, I'm hoping to see you there. Whatever you do, keep that hybrid - it's a nice change of pace after you get your new bike. ;) Good luck on the century!
