A CX, touring , or light-touring bike would all do the job. The performance differences are mainly due to tyre choice.
On the hybrid, I was looking at the Fuji Royale. On the road bikes, I have looked at the Giant ocr1, Jamis Ventura and The Fuji Roubaix.
I don't plan on racing. Would like to keep the price under $1000.00
I am big guy, 6.2 235.
There are plenty of sales going on in my area, but most of the bikes on sale are not in my size. I was ready to buy the Roubaix, but no go on my size.
