I want a better bike ...

Or maybe I just want a new one.

I did not have a problem with the distances that we covered on any given day; I could have been in better shape before my ride. None of that is going to change the things about my bike that I do not like.

I want to be able to comfortably mount fenders if conditions warrant. I do not like cables on the top tube, and I want a more relaxed geometry.

I rode the GT Grade Alloy 105 as well as the Giant Anyroad; both of them meet two of my three requirements (or 3 of the 4 if you count my desire for a new bike). I am going to ride a couple of different bikes this weekend.

I really do appreciate what everyone is saying; I am trying to take everything into account as I move forward with my prospective purchase.
