Need a bike recomendation please

[mwhite949]

Need some advice from the experts. I have a 600.00 budget. I am looking for a fast bike on the road, but also able to take those unpaved shortcuts. Needs to be comfortable for riding long distances. I like to ride 20-60 miles at a time. Using a cheap Diamond Back Wildwood. Time to step it up. Any recommendations greatly appreciated! Thank you.

try your luck in ebay or craiglists, do you really rode 60 miles on the Wildwood ?

Thanks, but was looking for bike recomendation not where to buy. So to answer my own question after some research, just purchased a 29r, Shimano Deore, 27 Speed Adventure Hybrid Lock Out Front Suspension, Disc Brakes. Riding 60 miles on the Wildwood was torture. But them I'm in it for the exercise! Can't wait for final assembly. Thanks again as yours was the only response. So I appreciate the time and effort.
