As suggested, stop by a few bike shops and tell them where you'll be riding, how far, how often, what your budget is, etc. Then buy from the shop that seems the friendliest and has good service. They will determine the correct size bike for you and set it up for correct fit.
Let us know what bike you decide on and post pics after you get it.
