there are soooo many good road bike out there Bianchi (mine is 20 years old and still eats up pavement like it was a baby) trek, cannondale it just depends on what fits you and your price range head on up to your trusted LBS and look around and talk to someone knowlegable obout roadies. They will set you up and fit you. You might also look into cross bikes in the winter I ride my old Specialized sequoia (sp) we don't get a lot of snow but we are known for our wet (October to early July grey and wet) it is slower but it takes more punishment than a road bike and again there are so many good ones out there . I once had a Bianchi Grizzly cross bike designed by Phil Ritchie ohh do I miss that one. Some one stole it out of the back of my car, they had to break into it to get it
