My all around bike was a Crosstrail for a few years, and I loved it. It was the base model with hybrid tires - smooth in the middle and knobby on the outside. I eventually converted it into a 29er and got a Jamis Coda Comp for the road. Similar geometry but steel frame without a front suspension. The steel frame Coda absorbs shock better than the rigid aluminium frame Crosstrail, even without front suspension. We have some pretty rough streets here.

Love all the Bike chatter. I ride mostly road. I too have a cross bike. A Cannondale CAAD X. Love it. For single track I have a specialized hard rock 29 disc solid bike but don't ride it much. Like you I would rather go ride for 2 hours on pavement. I shoot for 75 miles a week in riding season.
