Another goal is to be able to bike for 20 miles before winter come. Right now I have a mountain bike on the pave trail. When I hit my goal, I would consider to get a road bike. I heard that road bike is much lighter, so you can go faster.

The weight of the bike is of little importance unless your area is fairly hilly.
Typical mtn. bikes weigh around 25-28 lbs. while road bikes run 19-22.
The difference in "road feel" is the road bike has narrow, light weight tires that are inflated to much higher pressures than a mtn. bike's.
