sorry to say this but you'll be kicking yourself even harder (careful with the bruises ) when you get a proper road bike.
Hybrids are neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I can lend you my Tricross if you want to try a proper bike
After all you DO need a stronger bike to support your lardy frame :roll:

I have a hybrid and a road bike, and I'm not kicking myself for getting the hybrid- gets ridden every day and I wouldn't be without it. Couldn't let the hybrid knocking go unanswered0 -

my beef with hybrids is not the bikes but the term which is meaningless really mind you one could argue that road bikes is worse in that it's a narrow meaning, the older being better, ie racer.
but yes plenty of good hybrids around, they win TT for starters.0 -
