Then there's Giant which I hear about often. I'm looking to spend $1,000 and don't mind spending this much for a quality bike. I obviously don't have to spend this much if it's not worth it but that's my budget. Any specific recommendations that I should check out? I generally ride 15-20 mile rides a few times per week on a dedicated paved path (sometime further on the weekends).
