Hello from Albuquerque
I started bicycling for fitness this past year and it is quickly becoming an addiction 
Glad to find this forum.

And, you'll never have a hard time finding a hill to practice on in ABQ!

Hi East Hill:
I ride mostly on the paved city trails here in albuquerque ( see https://www.cabq.gov/openspace/paseodelbosquetrail.html ) . The bike I'm riding is a hybrid Trek 7.3 fx. This is the first bike I've owned since I was a kid. It has served me well so far but I am also looking to buy a road bike in the not too distant future because this is where this habit is leading me to. Any suggestions?

Depends partially on your budget. If you need the latest and greatest, figure on spending $3000-$5000 dollars.
Or, you could pick up a reasonably priced aluminium framed bike. Trek, Specialized, and many other marques make excellent intermediate bikes for around $1500. You can also get a good starter road bike for under $1000. Or, you could check into the used bike market, such as Craigslist.
Most important thing is fit
